And the dumbass of year award goes to:
ME!

I had "accidenally" created two instances of the player object, hence two lightning bolts and two explosions.

See, there's a damn good reason this was posted in the n00b forums ;) Works fine now.

Indeed there are many ways to limit the number of shots. I currently use a "cooldown timer" I explained earlier which works fine, formatted properly:

...
If ( shot_counter < 10 ) shot_counter:+1
If MouseDown(1) fire_lightning()
...

Method fire_lightning()
  If ( shot_counter = 10 )
    shot_counter = 0
    make_lightning_bolt( x, y )
    make_explosion( x, y )
  End If
End Method

Thanks for the helpful replies, guys.
