How to make enemies stop shooting after they die

Freilly12

I'm having trouble making my enemies stop shooting after they die
how could I make them stop with this command?

I have the enemy and the bullet for the enemy. The command above is for the bullet
This is the command the enemy has

Any suggestions?

You could have a variable ‘enemy-dead’ set to 0 initially and set to 1 when the enemy dies. The bullet sprite checks the value of the variable before shooting if not dead.

Could you show the command?

Try this:

In the enemy or the bullet? Because if it's in the enemy then it's not working

It would be easier to see the project. I'm not clear why the bullet seems to be going in both directions.

In my game all the enemies are stationary but there are two that look side to side and that is the command for one of those side to side ones.
I also made it on the offline version but i'll quickly try to make the enemy on this version.

Works OK for me. I added a ‘wait (1) secs’ in the bullet script (before the main repeat until) to ensure that the other script had time to set ‘enemy-dead’ to 0.

Here's my remix - https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/66068776/ - let me know when I can delete it.

I am having a similar problem with my star wars galaga game, only one tie fighter is shooting and it is not appearing soo you cant kill it and it just keeps on shooting. The game is not fully developed yet, but I need help with some minor things first. Please Help me fix it, here is a link.
