You need to tell use the problem you are having. It could be several different things. If I were to guess, I'd say it is that the keydown event is set to repeat, and therefore you fire all 15 shots within half a second. To fix that set the event not to repeat, or use some form of timing condition. Another possibility is that it goes into negative ammo, which is undesirable. The fix for that is to put the first line that decrements launchbomb into the if statement. That way it won't reduce launchbomb when it doesn't fire a bomb.

It isn't this,I think it's the second case.

Also, you are not supposed to have a ";" after if-statements.

Thanks,but it works with the ; too.


Thanks sky I solved the problem.

It shouldn't work. By putting that after the if statement, the actor will always be created.

Code: Select all

if(x<0);
{
    // this will always run, even if x>=0
}

The semicolon stops the statement, and the following three lines are treated like a standard code block.

Ahh,thanks
