Hi I was having a look at this game : http://flowlab.io/game/play/8676
…and the stars use the “emitter” function - what does it do?
It shoots a copy of an object.
Shoots?
Yes
It’s like an item dispenser, ex Minecraft, ex Mario blocks.
lol ok I used it “somehow” and now when you hit the coin it makes the character fly into the air after a few hits…cool but kindof unexpected 
How do you make one.
Connect a trigger to an EMIT box. Next, chose with object to emit. Control where the object fires by changing the direction the sprite faces in the PROPERTIES section (below the PHYSICS section outside of behaviors)
