I would like to make a custom powerup that only affects the player who picks it up. All the tutorials i have seen affect everyone not just one person

Im guessing those tutorials have some sort of for loop like

for(int k = 0; k++)
{
players[k] = give powerup;
}

Instead, i think you have to define players as undefined and whoever picks up the powerup, you set them to player and give to self

In the powerup_grab() function, where you call your powerup's code (similar to that):

Code Snippet

Plaintext

case "mypowerup":
    level thread my_powerup_code(self);
    break;

Here you can give the player that collected the drop as the second argument:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

case "mypowerup":
    level thread my_powerup_code(self, players[i]);
    break;

And your powerup function will look like that:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

my_powerup_code(powerup, player)
{
    // Do something with player
    player iPrintLnBold("Lol, nothing happened");
}
