Enemy LASER vs Player LASER

[nra]

Hello guys,

A couple of times I ran into a nuisance, so now I wonder:

Would it be any good having another LASER for telling enemy shots from player's?

Also using 8-bit alignment architecture, I don't know why there're 12 sprites max, not 16...

Either people don't like shooting enemies (a pun intended) or...

By the way, how about, say, LASER 2 as up and LASER 3 as down then?
Yep, the speed should be adjustable)

As the manual states, sprite collisions with lasers can be detected in the sprite type events using IF COLLISION 10.

Player sprites cannot hit themselves with their own laser beams

On the other hand, if you want to discriminate player shots from enemy shots, for instance when the player and an enemy both shoot and hit a third sprite, it is advisable to leave LASER to the enemy sprite, and use a fourth sprite as a bullet shot coming from the player sprite. Or vice versa

Yes, for the start I'd like to tell enemy laser from player laser, let alone vertical workaround (using sprites) and laser speed control.
