Recycling Powerups

Kino	Ive heard that upon picking a rune/powerup the item isnt actually destroyed but just shrunk. Therefore could you save the powerup somewhere and then keep resetting its health to make a powerup that can be used repeatedly? Also is there a way to chnage my username?

You can do that, however I have found no way to reset an items scale so such reused items will remain scaled down and be nearly invisible. You are better off removing used powerups and creating new ones.

Send me a PM and I'll change it for you.

Rao Dao Zao	No, the item remains scaled down because that's what the model does. Instant-use "power-ups" do die on use, but they don't get removed. So the classic bug is, when loading a saved game, them coming "back to life" in the form of shadows on the ground. The only thing you can do is make a trigger to properly remove them on use.
