hi ,
i have this code:


which fires a bullet, although when it fires it goes straight forward to the camera's perspective, although i would prefer it to fire forward in the direction the object(a jet) is facing, as sometimes when turning the object, and you fire a bullet which fires forward, away from the camera, whilst the jet is facing to the left/right,

i think it is this line SET OBJECT TO CAMERA ORIENTATION 2 that makes the bullet fire according to the camera, any ideas of how i could get it to fire according to the direction the jet is pointing?

replace "SET OBJECT TO CAMERA ORIENTATION 2" as you're using the orientation of the jet object and not the camera
