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 v] //This is how I would do it with a bullet, but maybe you did it differently
go to [player v]
point towards [mouse-pointer v]
show
repeat until <touching [edge v]?>
move (number) steps
end
hide

Ok, trying to make a form of accuracy.

Trying to use

point towards [mouse-pointer]
point in direction ((pick random (-20) to (20)) + (direction))

Does not appear to work...

fixed (your) [scripts v]

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 v]
point in direction ([direction v] of [cannon v])
set [inaccuracy v] to (pick random (-0.10) to (0.10))
set [speedgain v] to (pick random (0.010) to (1.000))
set [speed v] to ((1) - (speedgain))
repeat until <touching [edge v]?>
 move (speed) steps
 change [speed v] by (speedgain)
end

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