how do you make something come/spawn from something else (i.e. a bullet from gun,soldiers from barracks,a player from spawn point,etc.)

Get the position from your "Gun" find the offset for the location puts you at the end of the "barrel" and then create your "bullet" at that location

EDIT: That will create the "Appearance" of a bullet firing out of a gun, that is if you could see the bullet at that speed

dbObjectPositionX(id);
dbObjectPositionY(id);
dbObjectPositionZ(id);

id being the object id of the gun object

From there its just trial and error adding and subtracting different values from the x, y, and z until it looks like the bullet is origionating from the proper location.

im not sure that will work
cause if the gun will be towards upwards then the bullet will come from the middle or something... am i wrong?

isnt it supposed to be something like
Static Geometry calculation of the gun , then you can always tell where the end is , cause if its rotated.. then it will have bugs.

atleast if its a multiplayer and i see the backfire after the shot.. well i could be wrong.

Thats why you have to take the angle of the object into account when writing the equation.

EDIT: as for supplying the equation thats where you the programmer get to use your brain.
