Scratch

Using a sprite for each bullet, something like this:

Anywhere:

when gf clicked
forever if <key [space v] pressed?>
broadcast [fire v] and wait
wait (2) secs // interval between bursts after all bullets are done moving

when I receive [fire v]
go to [cannon v]
point towards [main-character v] // or wherever they should aim
wait (0.2) secs // increase the time for each cannon ball so they fire in sequence
show
repeat until<touching [edge v]?>
move (4) steps // not to big or the bullets may phase through objects
end
hide

For the bullets:

when I receive [fire v]
go to [cannon v]
point towards [main-character v] // or wherever they should aim
wait (0.2) secs // increase the time for each cannon ball so they fire in sequence
show
repeat until<touching [edge v]?>

end
hide

Do I need 2 sprites/bullet? or can I just do both scripts in one bullet?

You can put both scripts in one bullet, but you only need it in the first bullet.  You will, however, need multiple bullets to really simulate a machine gun firing.

Say I press space once.  Will it only fire 1 bullet?

It depends; if you have one bullet, yes, but if you have more, no.

Yes, though I wouldn't like typing up the script. I'll see if I can create the script in a project for you tomorrow morning.

Ready?

No, because my parents and I went shopping for folders and lights for the past 1~2 hours, and my mom just called for me to help decorate the Christmas tree in my house, but once I'm done with that, I should start working on it. It shouldn't be too hard to make. 

Oh, xD

Can you give me a screenshot of the script?  I am using chrome, if that explains anything.

No. From what I know about chrome, it doesn't, though before I do post the scripts, I have a question; couldn't you just download the engine I made you and, if you wanted, export the sprites so that it doesn't look like you remixed a project of mine?

No, because I'm remixing a project and adding the machine gun scripts.

Okay. Now for the machine gun:

when gf clicked
set [Ammo v] to (500)
set [bullet v] to (0)
delete [all v] of [bullets v]
add [1] to [bullets v]
add [2] to [bullets v]
add [3] to [bullets v]
add [4] to [bullets v]
Filler.//Repeat for the # of bullets you'll have.
forever
 if <<(mouse down?) and <(ammo) > (0)>> and <(length of [bullets v]) > [0]>>
  change [Ammo v] by (-1)
  set [bullet v] to (item [1 v] of [bullets v])
  delete [1 v] of [bullets v]
  wait (0.1) secs//Delay.
 end
 go to front

when gf clicked
forever
 point towards [mouse pointer v]

For the first bullet:

when gf clicked
forever
 if <(Bullet) = (1)>
  show
  go to [machine gun v]
  point in direction ([direction v] of [Machine Gun v])
  move (30) steps
  repeat until (touching [edge v]?)
   move (5) steps
  end
  if <(Bullet) = (1)>
   set [Bullet v] to (0)
  end
  add [1] to [bullets v]
 end
 hide

For the second bullet:

when gf clicked
forever
 if <(Bullet) = (2)>
  show
  go to [machine gun v]
  point in direction ([direction v] of [Machine Gun v])
  move (30) steps
  repeat until (touching [edge v]?)
   move (5) steps
  end
  if <(Bullet) = (2)>
   set [Bullet v] to (0)
  end
  add [2] to [bullets v]
 end
 hide

And so on for all of the bullets.

Tried & script breaks.  I'll upload tomorrow.

Hmmm… That's interesting because it works for me. So how is it breaking?

Here it is, you have to fire a few volleys w/ space key.  Then, it won't fire anymore.  And I removed the when key space pressed stop all.

Ah, okay. I see the problem. You had made "Bullets" a local list of your plane, so the bullets can't add theirselves back to the list. Fix that and it should work. 

Ok.
