I thin he means using particles and a sudden burst of light... or maybe just particles.

it`s very simple, for a muzzle flash just texture a plain with a flash image and then position it on the end of the gun facing the camera, then show it when the gun fires for one or two frames and then hide it again, so simple I won`t even bother with one of my inevitable example code snippets

I don't know if that was supposed to be a joke , but i laughed at it. Anyway, I was looking for an equation or formula for lining the gun up with flash even when you are moving.

erm, i'm not shure if you worked it out but his post wasn't a joke, i'll explain:

then make it face the camera (i think i can leave that to you)


this will position the flash where the gun is, you may want to make a hidden object as a limb at the front of the gun so that the flash is not in the middle of the gun then position the flash object to the limb position

OR

you could just have that limb as the flash and have it hidden, then show it for a while when fire is pressed.
