Help with shield only

[Pink Mario]

So I have some code for shooting things
but I want to shoot different things depending on your shield
is there anyway to do that?

Assuming you're talking about Lua, and that you have a variable named player that holds a player object, you can check the player's current shield by doing something with:

player.powers[pw_shield]

For example:

local shield = player.powers[pw_shield]
local thingToFire = MT_REDRING

if shield == SH_PITY then
    print("You are using the Pity shield.")
    thingToFire = MT_THROWNAUTOMATIC
elseif shield == SH_WHIRLWIND then
    print("You are using the Whirlwind shield.")
    thingToFire = MT_THROWNSCATTER
end
-- And so on...
