I guess im an ok scratcher, I even have my own rudimentary program on visual BASIC 2003 code but I cant figure out how to make an arrow not follow the mouse on a bow and arrow game!

now i have three games that came close (only one is on the internet) but the arrows in these gostraight and follow th mouse like a heat seeking missile...if i just gave up and used the variable slider controls well that wouldnt be fun enough for me, so could someone help.... smile

when i recieve [shoot arrow]
repeat until <touching [what it's supposed to be touching]>
point towards [mouse-pointer]
move (5) steps

you can modify it to fit your needs. You might want to make a variable that changes depending on if it's supposed to be moving or not.

firstly to try to make a ball fly realistically.
try this
point in direction (direction of bow)
set power to 10
set gravity to 0
repeat until touching edge.
move power steps
change y by gravity
set power to (power times 0.98)
change gravity by -0.1

to make it into an arrow devise a script that makes a seperate arrow sprite point twords and move towards the ball.

Interestingly enough, Bows and arrow help(again) realistic gravity
