    I am new to Buildbox so I hope I am just missing something and you guys can help me out easily. This is also the first time I have posted here so, Hello.

    I am trying to get the power up style that the old game R-type had. Enemy Pod flies in, Player destroys it, that leaves behind the power up, player must then hover over it to collect it. I have had a Red Hot go from two different angles and still can't seem to get working.

    The first approach.
    Enemy Flies along path. Power Up is connected to - and hidden behind Enemy. When Enemy is destroyed Power Up is visible.
    I have successfully got the Power Up Action to follow the Enemy using the connections view to connect them. But when the Enemy is destroyed so is the Power Up. Is there a way to keep the Power Up Action alive after the Enemy is Destroyed? See Picture.

    The second approach.
    Use the defeated Animation of the Enemy to Spawn the Power Up. I managed to get this sort of working but when the Player collects the Power Up the player only fires 3 times. Like the duration of the action only lasts 1 second. I have tried extending this to 999 but get the same result. See picture.

    If someone can help me with either approach or has a 3rd option, I would love hear it. If the Screenshots don't work please let me know. This is the first time I have used Google Drive to share Images, should work OK.
    Thanks in Advance
    Regards
