Is it possible to stop a projectile from projecting? Like when a certain amount of points is hit, I dont want there to be any more projectiles.

Welcome, @MissM_Aus !

It sounds like you want something like this:

The `destroy all sprites of kind` block is in the **Effects** category of the **Sprites** drawer.

Feel free to share a link to your project if you have more specific questions or if I misinterpreted your question.

i think we can make a variable for it like if its hit something 20 times no projectiles cant get shooten we can do a if  
like this:  
if (AmountofProjectiles \>= 1){  
set my projectile from my sprite to shoot ye somthing like that  
}  
i hope this helps

You can delete the projectiles with the `destroy all sprites of kind` block, or you can set the projectile velocity to `vx 0, vy 0` to stop it but not delete it.
