Welcome to the forums PooAs!

You can do in the draw actor:

if(animindex == your animation index here) { shooting = 1; }

make the "shooting" a integer variable.

Then

if(shooting = 1) { newbullet += 1 }

newbullet is also a integer variable.

if(newbullet >= 100)
{
newbullet = 0;
create new bullet code here
}

This is how you can do it without timers. It's handy because you can easily change the bullet rate by editing the "100" to for example "50" to double speed or to "200" for half speed. Etc.
And of course the bullet will have it's own code to fly.

man im way confused. lol

this is what i have so far..

if(animindex == "enemy_small_left_shotgun" ) { shooting = 1; }

if(shooting = 1) { newbullet += 1 }

if(newbullet >= 100)
{
newbullet = 0;
CreateActor("enemy_bullet_left", "bullet pistol left", "(none)", "(none)", 40, 60, false);
}


haha. i have no idea
thanks for you help

if(animindex == "enemy_small_left_shotgun" ) { shooting = 1; }

This is your problem. Animindex means your actor's animation index. The top position animation's index is 0. Second position is 1 and so on...Now your "Enemy_Small_Left_Shotgun" animation in what position? You can see it by click Animation on Actor Control. If your "Enemy_Small_Left_Shotgun" animation is in the 5th position, so you should change that code into

Code: Select all

if(animindex == 4) { shooting = 1; }

if(animindex == 3) { shooting = 1; }

if(shooting = 1) { newbullet += 1 }


if(newbullet >= 100)
{
newbullet = 0;
CreateActor("enemy_bullet_left", "bullet pistol left", "(none)", "(none)", 40, 60, false);
}

ok thats what i have..
i get like 3 errors and a warning lol
1 error is for line one
and line 2 has 2 errors and a warning
..
line one and two
get the error

cannot convert 'const int' to "identifier"...
help?? lol

Try this

Code: Select all

if(animindex==3)
{
    shooting=1;
    newbullet++;
}
if(newbullet>=100)
{
    newbullet = 0;
    CreateActor("enemy_bullet_left", "bullet pistol left", "(none)", "(none)", 40, 60, false);
}

The code seems to be right but I guess you didn't make the variables in the variable menu.

[PooAs]
