Hi,
I am trying to make it so that when a certain weapon is equipted, the players current stats are boosted by the weapon's bonuses. T the moment I have the bonus variables stored in obj_weapon and I want my obj_player to have their stats boosted while the weapon is equipted. The problem is when I use my code it constantly adds the bonus every time the step event repeats. I want it just to be a one off occurance in the step event. Here is my current code:

Step event:

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
///////////////////////////////////WEAPONS/////////////////////////////////////
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

if obj_weapon.cwep = spr_bd
{
maxhit += bdmhbonus//0.05
splashrate += bdsrbonus//2.5
}

if obj_weapon.cwep = spr_bs
{
maxhit += bsmhbonus//0.1
splashrate += bdsrbonus//3
}

Why don't you simply add the bonus when the player equips the weapon, instead? Just make sure you remove it once he unequips it.

Alternatively, have a separate variable
for example:
for increasing attack, make a new variable (called attackBonus or something similar)
and when you reference the variable attack, use attack+attackBonus instead

Thanks I will give this a try!

EDIT: Unfortunatly when my weapon is changed it is all based on the current sprite so there is no part where it suddenly changes. Any other ideas?

changing=1
if changing=1
{
//all of your adding code here
changing=0
}
when a weapon is changed, sprchange=the new sprite
if sprchange!=initial one
{
//subtract those weapon bonuses
change=1
}

Thanks that works great!
