It lags out because each medkit spawns another medkit, which is not something you want because you’re just going to get more and more medkits spawning more medkits. The whole spawning system just doesn’t work, I suggest having a separate object spawn the medkits in various spots

Now it won’t lag because you’re only spawning one at once…

You probably did something else wrong, I can’t even play the game anymore on my end

the default position is set to 0,0

make a position in pixels on where you want it to spawn
(32x32 is one grid block)

Alright. Time to break into my helpful brain sections.

  1. Make the bullets non-solid, but turn collisions ON

  2. Make it so that the medkit can be touched by player 1 and 2.
  3. Make player animations.
  4. Get rid of all these useless blocks:

    They have no code, and they have no looks. Therefore, they are useless.
  5. Change the jump collision to ONLY BOTTOM. This will make it so you can only jump when touching the ground, and not the ceiling or walls.

  6. You don’t need these extra walls around the edges. You can just use the walls that are already in the game, since the player can’t even see out of the screen.
  7. Delete this object. Makes your game run smoother.

  8. Once you’ve deleted all the useless blocks, name EVERYTHING so that you can tell what it is.

That’s all I got now. Good luck.
