i have the bullets working and killing people but i was wondering how to get the bullets to shoot the way i am facing
ex. left-bullet goes left same with right
but all i can do is go one direction per game plz help

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

so like i go to key down > then script editor and make those variables. and do the same for key up

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.

ill get workin on it thanks

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;
