Re: Help with top down shooter!

For the plane

When [space v] key pressed
 Broadcast [bullet v]
End
And for the bullet

When gf clicked
Hide

When I receive [bullet v]
Go to [plane v]
Show
Point in direction ([direction v] of [plane v])
Repeat until <<touching [enemy v]> or <touching [edge v]>>
 Move [3] steps
End
If <touching [enemy v]>
 Broadcast [kill enemy v]
End
Hide
And for the enemies
When I receive [kill enemy v]
 Hide
Hope that I helped

Excellent example.
Just one problem, this:

Point in direction ([direction v] of [plane v])
Should be this:
Point in direction <([direction v] of [plane v]) - [180] >
Wouldn't want the bullet flying backwards.  tongue

Thank you both for your help my ship now fires had to change the orientation of the sprite bullet because it shot out the side of the ship which was kinda funny but now it shoots straight

keep a eye out for the finished product also i am going to be making a help thread tut and will be giving credit where it is due
