Change the xvelocity of the bullet:

Code: Select all

xvelocity = 1; //Move to right

Code: Select all

xvelocity = -1; //Move to left

[harleyb12]

i know that... what i dont know is how to program when he's facing 1 way use the x = x - 1; and when he's facing the other x = x + 1;

[speckford123]

for when you shoot try:

if(creator.animindex==0) // put your right animation #
xvelocity=5; // enter speed of bullet
if(creator.animindex==1) // put your left animation #
xvelocity=-5; // enter speed of bullet

[speckford123]

or try on create actor event:

if(animindex==0) // your bullets right #
xvelocity=5;
if(animinex==1)
xvelocity=-5;


use this if the bullet has more than one animimation,
if not use first one.

i think i get it ill try that as soon as i buy the update.... i axedentally downloaded it without any plan to pay

it worked except when i shoot then turn around bullets come back and i do not know how to aply this script to the jumping animation examp: guy facing left jumps facing left. i have a animation for jumping

[Sgt. Sparky]

if(xvelocity < 0)ChangeAnimation("Jump_Left", "FORWARD");

with those tips i managed to make my bullets come left,when face left etc. But they only appear, they aren't using the speed i set.
(---> skott_1.xvelocity=100; <--- )

My whole script is following:

CreateActor("Skott_1", "random_skott", "Gubbe_1", "(none)", 0, -45, false);
if(creator.animindex =="USMC_1_stilla_right")
Skott_1.xvelocity = 100;
else
if(creator.animindex =="USMC_1_stilla_left")
Skott_1.xvelocity = -100;

can anyone tell me whats wrong plz??

and on script line 4 and 7 I get a warning: Suspicious pointer conversion. Why am I getting that?

If you want to put the animation name in, you need to do
getAnimIndex("animation_name");
otherwise, just put the number in.
