i am having an issue where. my main character seems to run out of bullets. he stops shooting when i hit the shoot button. it seems to be the result of too many active objects on the screen, but i have done things like add invisible walls that follow at the edge of the screen and destroy bullets that hit them but it still happens. anyone have the fix?

when the bullets position is closer than 5 pixels from the screens border... you will find it...
make things klik.

This happened to me once too. It was because i had too many objects in the level (i had an active object emitting particles; too many i found out)...i stopped it from making particles, and it worked.

Check to see if your invisible barriers outside the frame are not set to inactivate when out of screen, and that collisions in invisible playfield is turned on for that frame.

Never rely on collisions to destroy unneeded things. Use coordinates.
4 events (it can be done in two using absolute values but Im too tired to remember that at the mo):
X position(bullet) < X Left(Screen): Destroy bullet
X position(bullet) > X Right(Screen): Destroy bullet
Y position(bullet) < Y Top(Screen): Destroy bullet
Y position(bullet) > Y Bottom(Screen): Destroy bullet
Better yet assign all particles to a group/qualifier and replace bullet with the group, thus eliminating all unnecessary AO not on the screen in 4 events

Congrats on getting it working! But also, if this happens again in the future, make sure something in the events is creating a bunch of objects that you don't want it to be creating on accident. I don't know how many times I've done this, but enough I assure you to want to warn other people. For example, I'd have something like "Always: When (bla bla bla)...create object (bla bla bla)" and it'd create thousands of those in almost an instant and almost nothing would work. Anyway, I hope that made sense...heh. Good luck.
Beach Invasion II will come out if you are lucky.

I sure hope you found the "limit action to happen once if looped-or-whatever-it's-called" option

Yes, also I usually have a counter set to "nobjects" so that I can keep track of how the game's coping.
