Remove Enemy [Game Issue]

[Vinwarez]

When you hit an enemy, it removes from the screen, but if you shoot at the position it was, you will still get score. I need help removing it from the screen FOREVER.

Here is the code:

Code:

'TODO: Check for collisions with enemies here
If bullet.Bounds.IntersectsWith(Me.enemy.Bounds) Then
    bulletsToRemove.Add(bullet)
    Controls.Remove(enemy)
    Score += 5
End If

Well, just like the player's bullets, for the enemy you need to setup an array and scroll through the array to check for collisions.

However, if you don't want to do that, and you have only one enemy, you can simply say..

Code:

'TODO: Check for collisions with enemies here
If bullet.Bounds.IntersectsWith(Me.enemy.Bounds) AndAlso Me.Controls.Contains(enemy) Then
    bulletsToRemove.Add(bullet)
    Controls.Remove(enemy)
    Score += 5
End If

So this makes it so before we check for collisions, we make sure that the enemy actually exists inside of the form.

Alright. There will be multiple enemies, but I am testing stuff with only one before I add more.

Thank you!
