Put 2 variables, called standingright and standingleft, then when key right is pressed, standing right is 1 anmd standing left is 0, when left is pressed, standing left is 1, standing right is 0 No wait, have thos on Key up and key down

You can do it with just one variable.

Add the keydowns for it in counterclockwise order, starting at right.

so keydown right>
dir=0;

keydown up>
dir=1;

keydown left>
dir=2;

keydown down>
dir=3;

you don't need a keyup event. Usually you want your character or gun to stay facing the last direction pushed.

Now you can use dir for angle as well, where angle=dir*90, since right is 0 and up is 90, etc. in the GE coordinate plane.

yeaa.. i dont understand like do i make a variable called dir then make new key down for right up left and down ? then would it work and were do i put the angle part im so confuzed lol

Yeah add the dir= to new keydown events.
Then you'd use the angle for bullet>createactor>

Code: Select all

angle=creator.dir*90;
