Please explain yourself more, from what i hear it can be...
how do i make the player shoot from turrets
or
how do i shoot a gun with a gun object

either way you probably need to look into rays (sparkys or newtons dlls) or just use limbs

Intersection math could be helpful.
If You've got DBPro.
And here is a reeeally long piece of code which can process a billion trillion bullet calculations a [b]millisecond[/i]. Here it is:

@ eevil weevil, please close your bold tag with a /b operator.

Infact, I'm going to do it for you:

And that code doesn't work on my computer.

Did for me - I'll take two sugars please

BogoBogo - As for the shooting - considering you figured out how to either MOVE a bullet or "Raycast" a "laser" kinda thing-a-ma-bob to do the job - Getting the bullet to come out of a certain hole/barrel/ etc - I made a thing that is just a 3d "Plus Sign" - looks more like a toy "Jack" from the kids game jacks - (rubber ball and little metal things that kill if you step on them)

I made a little system where I can show/hide it ... and when I do - I can also move it to the CENTER coordinates of each model I have loaded. Also - it displays the coords of the model, and how much I've moved it (via keypad) since I put it there.

In short - for my tank - I make the "toy jack" appear at the tank's coords. Remember how I said it displays the COORDS and How far I moved it on each x,y,z? that is important. Because I move the "toy" to where the gun is and I record "How much I moved it" in each direction. This way to fire - I position the bullet at the same position as the model - no matter where it is, then I move it up - left and turn it etc - as much as I did the toy using the numbers I got while doing this measuring work - and my bullets come out of the barrel no matter how the model is postioned.

Keep at it - you'll figure it out one way or another! Don't give up.
