Hey, so I've been working on a gun that shoots bullets. I have most things done, but now I need a way to make the bullet continue on forever. So far I have a script that shoots a bullet to the mouse using a glide block, but I need it to go until it reaches the border of the screen, even if the mouse isn't there. I hope that makes sense 

Thanks in advance.

Instead of using a glide block, use direction and move blocks...something like this should work:

when I receive 
shoot ▼
This is how I would do it with a bullet, but maybe you did it differently
go to 
player ▼
point towards 
mouse-pointer ▼
show
repeat until 
touching 
edge ▼
?
move 
number
 steps
hide

Ok, trying to make a form of accuracy.

Trying to use

point towards 
mouse-pointer
point in direction 
pick random 
-20

 +

Does not appear to work...

Thanks. I saw the problem after writing, and I dunno how to edit my posts 

You can't until you're a scratcher, then there's just a box that says "edit" next to report

For a nice effect, try this:

go to 
cannon ▼
point in direction 
direction ▼
 of 
cannon ▼
set 
inaccuracy ▼
 to 
pick random 
-0.10
 to 
0.10
set 
speedgain ▼
 to 
pick random 
0.010
 to 
1.000
set 
speed ▼
 to 
1
 - 
speedgain
repeat until

move 
speed
 steps
change

 by 
speedgain

That would give the potential for an accelerating bullet, I guess it depends if you want realism or random
