How would you make a working gun?

_________________ l I dont know... l l________________l ._./

You need an array for the bullet: » x position » y position » x velocity » y velocity » counter since bullet was fired it would look something like this: DIM BPX[0],BPY[0],BVX[0],BVY[0] Then to shoot shoot a bullet: PUSH BPX,gunXPosition PUSH BPY,gunYPosition PUSH BVX,SIN(gunAngle*PI()/180)*SPEED PUSH BVY,COS(gunAngle*PI()/180)*SPEED

make a bullet sprite go to the gun when shot, and then make the bullet go forward until it collides with something or goes a certain distance. Use spcol, spcolvec, sphitsp, spofs, spshow, sphide, and a few variables to do these things. its simple and complicated.

Here, I added a machine gun to the spaceship in this key The code shows you exactly how to make a gun Key: [ RAPXEQD ]

Thanks! I need actaully needed a machine gun for my game! :D

Simon how would i turn a gun to the left or right when the sprite moves?

Well thats when you need to use sine and cosine to convert an angle in degrees to a x velocity and y velocity It takes a bit of math unfortunately So lets say the sprites rotation is stored in VAR ROT rotate the sprite to that angle with SPROT SPRITEID,ROT get the x and y velocities of the bullet with XVEL=-10*SIN(-ROT*PI()/180) YVEL=-10*COS(-ROT*PI()/180) [you might need to tweak]

then you'd move the bullet like so: X=X+XVEL Y=Y+YVEL SPOFS BULLETID,X,Y Keep in mind these variables should be arrays if you want more than one bullet on the screen at once

Could you show me the code? I dont understand, sorry :[

It all fit on one screen

Thanks a ton! :D
