I know this is a reall really stupid question but I dont have the full version of DBpro yet(its on its way) so I'm really teaching myself until it comes.I just want to know how to completely get rid of a sprite when its killed in a game.The best I can do so far is scale the sprite to 0 which basically works except that if you die you can still shoot bullets even though you're invisible.So I really want to know how to completely get rid of the sprite when it dies in the game.I would really appreciate the help even though its such a nooby question!Please Help!

Err... Delete sprite?

If you want to temporarily get rid of it, use Hide sprite and then show sprite.

Tecnically, yes, but what you are talking about has to do with code rather than sprites. For example, you could do something like this:

If alive = 1
If spacekey()
Firebullet()
Endif
Endif

You need to tell it to stop doing stuff if it's dead.
