help with shooting directions

[jimmynewguy]

i used this code

Code: Select all

if (animindex == getAnimIndex("guy walk r") ||
    animindex == getAnimIndex("guy stop"));
{
  CreateActor("bullet", "BULLET", "(none)", "bullet r ", 25, 0, false);
}

else CreateActor("bullet", "BULLET", "(none)", "bullet l  ", 0, 0, false);



so bullets would shoot the way the character was facing but an error ocured (bad spelling ) does any one no what i did wrong?

I reccomend not using Spaces in a file name, it is easy to mess up with that(I mess up all the time! )
but look at my gun equiping/shooting Demo here:

i downloaded the game but an error occurd , could u write me a script instead,plz?
thanks for the help sparky!!

PS: reallllllllllllllllllllly srry for the trouble

[jimmynewguy]

nvm i fixed it but came up with a new problem
i want the enemy to face my character so i used this code under draw actor

Code: Select all

int d = direction(xscreen, yscreen, player.xscreen, player.yscreen);
if ( d <= 251 && d > -36 )
  animpos = 1;
else if ( d <= 360 && d > -36 )
  animpos = 2;

it works but the problem is the enemy still follows his regular animation so every second or two he'll turn the other direction and glith up , any ideas?

on a create actor event of the enemy, put a change animation direction -stop

oh thanx
points ++

wait now he doesnt turn around if im 2 the left of him but he will on the right im so confused!!

Code: Select all

int d = direction(xscreen, yscreen, player.xscreen, player.yscreen);
if ( d <= 251 && d > -36 )
  animpos = 1;
else if ( d <= 360 && d > -36 )
  animpos = 2;

why do you use "if d > -36"?
d will only be set from 0 to 359,
try canging your code to:

Code: Select all

if(player.x < x)animpos = 0;
if(player.x >= x)animpos = 1;
