So you want it to launch like a cannon?
Maybe something like this

Code: Select all

xvelocity = -8;
yvelocity = -8;


Use that on the bullet when you first create it, then on each draw actor do this:

Code: Select all

yvelocity += 0.8;


That works on jumping, so it should work on bullets too. Then just put in your collision code for whatever you want it to do. I'm not at home right now so I can't test the code or try different numbers, but I that should at least get you started.
