I am trying to make a system where you can shoot, and the projectiles do different values of damage. For example, a missile will down 2/3 of the status bar, but bullets will only do about 0.1 in the system values. My only problem is that I need the bullets to come from the player, but still be classified as a custom sprite, not a projectile. ---

get the position of the player, then create a variable sprite with your custom spritekind, then make the velocity depending on where they’re coming from. ---

The problem with that is then I would need to keep track of the player’s position, and that would lag my low-end PC. ---

no, it wouldn’t, you would just have to start tracking when the player presses your desired button to shoot, then stop tracking after its done shooting. ---
