Bullets

[supa-tails]

Hi, I am making a game that features different guns, and I am having trouble with bullets. You see, the first weapon you get is the minigun and it fires rapid fire bullets, and I am not wanting to use the origional create actor with the bullet only shooting horrizontally, but I need to know how to make the bullet shoot towards mouse when you left click. I tried doing this but the mouse down event wouldn't work, so I set it to keydown "q" and when you create it it moves to the cursor, but instead of acting like a real bullet it just follows it like a homing missle =C

I got it supa. what you have to do to make it a keydown event. you remember the invisible actor I told you to make? well first make a new activation event from that invisible actor, then choose your main char as the actor which it has an affect upon, then on the main actor, make a new event. have the event be a "activation event" and have the action be a create actor event. do you understand?

wow! wierd game but just have the move to under create actor instead of draw actor, then on move finish destroy actor

that's not exactly what his game's gonna be like.

Lol this is just a demo, or a source engine for physics and stuff. Once I get all the stuff worked out I will make the actually story line!

how's it going? is it working yet? if you don't understand anything, I can give you a step by step instruction on how to do it in the chat.

How do I make an animation randomly be chosen when created? (For example, if something explodes it randomly chooses an animation out of 10 animations) Also how would I make more than one of the same object create? (Like 5)
