Are you using any physics packages (Sparky's, Dark DynamiX)? If so, you could use the raycast function in them, if not, you could create a small cube (or load a model), and when the mouse is clicked you create at the end of the barrel and use dbMoveObject to accelerate it.

You could lock it to the camera to allow it to rotate with it.

Yes, you can lock multiple objects.

If you use Sparky's, I recommend using raycasting. It would be easier then moving a cube and checking where it collides.

Using this:



It will cast a ray from the camera and store the object that it hit in the "collide" variable.

hmmm thank u .... i have a question... do i have to create a sphere around my model of enemy? or it will just simply detect and calculate collision ???? in many tutorials i have seen that they create a sphere or box around the object to check collisions... what is the use of it??

If you set up your enemy with Sparky's, you won't need a box around the enemy, Sparky's will do that for you.
