Bullet won't show up

trollsomeisback

I was working on my game, trollsome 6, and i discovered an issue on dr.white's stage where whenever i shoot, the bullet stops showing up. I canceled my game after i struggled to try to fix the issue. Is there any possible way to fix this?

Can you send over the project you're working in? Thanks!

In order to get the bullet to show up, you should add a show block to the clone’s starting scripts. Here is an example:

when I start as a clone
show

This script will cancel out the hide block used earlier and it will enable the bullet to show when it is fired.

Could you please tell me which sprite the bullet originates from so that I can find the solution to your problem. Right now I am looking at about three different sprites that have “bullet” in their names but none of them use clones.

The “P1 Bullet” appears properly when the clone is created.

Just a quick comment - don't leave the forever loop running when you hide the first sprtie. You're just giving Scratch extra work to do for no reason.

@MiniCoder11 is right - please identify the sprite and how to see the problem. Helping on a project with over 100 sprites is not a trivial thing.

I tried stopping all the scripts in in the first sprite which is the logo and it didn't help anything. The bullet in dr.white's stage only works for a few seconds.

I didn't say it would help the problem, just that it wasn't sensible coding. Still don't know where to look for the problem or how to replicate.

There are probably to many clones on screen right now. Maybe try deleting the clones?

What do you mean deleting the clones? There's already a “Delete this clone” Block in the bullet script.

Well I think that there are TOO Many clones of enemies onscreen that it's not letting the bullet appear cuz there are too many clones.

After looking at all these posts, I cannot seem to find an issue. Maybe you set your variable to a value other than 0 when starting the loop? That prevents it from running because you added an if statement.

Can't you only use like, 1 or 2 enemies?

I removed footbrawl's clone but still nothing works.

Try copying the project and deleting as much as possible from the copy. At the moment there is too much going on in your project. If you delete one sprite at a time and test you'll have more chance of looking for twhat is causing the problem.
