use a Global Value to show which gun the player has. You can find these under the "Special Conditions" object in the event editor. These values will remain the same from frame to frame.

If the weapons are part of the main character, use the Global Values to store which animation of the character is currently playing.

Something like:

-Always
>Set Global Value A to: Anim Number( "Main Character" )

Or if you're just using different frames of the same animation to define different weapons, store the animation frame using the Global Values.

the way we have the weapons is that for each weapon you pick up you

pick up weapon

"main character" overlapping "weapon"
upon pressing down
-destroy "main character"
-create "gun character"

You could still do this with Global Values.

If the gun has been picked up, set a Global Value to 1 or something.

If the player goes to the next frame and hasn't picked up the gun, the Global Value will stay at 0.

Then in the next frame, if the Global Value is 1, make the guy have his gun.

And If the Global Value is 0, then make it so he doesn't have a gun.

Globals don't reset over frames. They start at 0 at the start of the game already.

Global values start at 0 by default when the application is run, and they stay the same from frame to frame, hence the name global values.

ahh i see, i had it set up on flags on a global object, but everytime you would go to the next frame, it would make 1 extra of the character, glad to know this works, i dont know why hes so determined to do it like this though...
