[CLOSED] Way to retrieve the weapon from a bullet #9

Closed FlixelCommunityBot closed 10 years ago

This issue was reported on the Flixel forums. At the moment, in the collision function between a bullet and something else, there's no way to tell what kind of bullet it is; i.e. what weapon it was fired from. The only way to get this is to use a different FlxGroup for each weapon's bullets, and then perform each collision check with each FlxGroup, passing in a different callback function. It'd potentially simplify user code if there was an easy way to retrieve the weapon from a bullet so we can tell what kind of weapon it is.

Bullets now have a protected var called "weapon" which links to the instance of the weapon from which it was fired. This isn't perfect, but should be enough for now. V2.0 of FPT restructures this significantly.
