HELP PLEASE!! I can't figure it out!

:? :? Well you see, I want my actor to shoot in the direction he is facing.

If i assign the actor to shoot how to i tell it to shoot in the direction he is facing. (The view is from the top so how the actor can face north, south east or west).

How can i make his shoot without assigning a different shoot button for every direction?? :? :?

Hi A :) Welcome to the ForuM !!!

You could create 4 variables ( shootNorth, shootSouth, shootEast, shootWest ) to each direction.

For keyDown[UP] use variable shootNorth. When this variable = 1, shooting goes upwards.
For keyDown[DOWN] use variable shootSouth. When this variable = 1, shooting goes downwards.
For keyDown[LEFT] use variable shootWest. When this variable = 1, shooting goes Left.
For keyDown[RIGHT] use variable shootEast. When this variable = 1, shooting goes Right.

Maybe there is another solution :?
