This is the 13th video in a series on remaking Hotline Miami in GameMaker Studio.

The video tutorial shows you how to setup a weapon pickup cycle. You basically have a pickup instance which holds the weapon type (sprite) stored, which in case of getting picked passes that information onto the player instance. The player can now by pressing the right mouse button throw that weapon away and nullifying its weapon holding status. By throwing an weapon throw instance the player passes the weapon holded into this instance, which will fly away from the player. At some point the fyling weapon throw instance will halt and will be destroyed and replaced with its hold values which are then passed into a fresh pickup instance. Here the cycle begins from start.
