i wanna know how to destroy a sprite that hits you because the second boss battle has things that bounce around everywhere but they won’t destroy. This isnt happening with the first boss but idk why

Instead of destroying the projectile that overlapped the player (That being otherSprite) you are destroying the general sprite ‘Shied left shooter’ which I believe is just the most recently created shield left shooter on the current scene. Just swap ‘shield left shooter’ with ‘othersprite’ by dragging the othersprite block to fix it! 🙂

I think i maybe fixed it.

Also i tryed to make the _on A button pressed_ script a little shorter by adding arrays instead of duplicate code, but I somehow lost the shooting animations.
