Is there a way to shoot as fast as the ships velocity?

So when i move backwards- the bomb moves at the slowest speed. When i move forwards- i shoot slightly faster than ships velocity?

...I know i've been posting alot for help but i started only a couple of weeks ago and i've have been tryin to do things myself but failing  yikes

forever

change

by

if
key
down arrow
pressed?
change
velocity
by
-2
set

to

*
0.86
move
velocity
steps
set
bomb speed
to

*
1.1
+

if
key
space bar
pressed?
broadcast
bomb

Something like that? The bomb speed formular should work for what you want, adjust the (1.1) value if you want it to go faster or slower.  smile

Ty i'll try this when i get a moment  smile  but one question- once i've fired the bomb and its moving if i press up or down- does that bomb change speed or does it remain traveling at the same speed?

At the moment, it would change the speed. (You'll also need a way to turn the ship sprite). You should add this to the bomb sprite:

when i receive
bomb
point in direction
direction
of
ship
go to
ship
set
lock speed
to
bomb speed
show
repeat until
touching
edge
?
move
lock speed
steps
hide
