I am making a 3D game and when the ship shoots a bullet it shrinks to make it look like its going into the distance. My problem is when it's width and length reach 0 it comes up with an error, i need to work around this error by making the bullet disappear when it reaches width 1 and length 1 so the game doesn't get an error.
the error:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Width (0) and height (0) cannot be <= 0

Thats the code i am using to make the bullet shrink
public void shrink()
{
int percentage = 99;
GreenfootImage image = getImage();
image.scale(image.getWidth()*percentage/100, image.getHeight()*percentage/100);
}
