Hi,  
I am making a galaga rip off game but when i kill my enemies their projectiles keep shooting even though they are dead and no longer in the game.

Nice, @WoodysWorkshop! Make sure you also set the “destroy on wall” flag so that the projectiles don’t stick to the top of the screen:

Hello! I try to make my enemies to stop shooting, but the command “auto-destroy” doesn’t work at all. Is there any mistake that I am doing or is there any other way to do it?
