OBJECT POSITION X(objnum)
OBJECT POSITION y(objnum)
OBJECT POSITION z(objnum)

and

OBJECT ANGLE x(objnum)
OBJECT ANGLE y(objnum)
OBJECT ANGLE z(objnum)

note that you will need to calculate the angle of the polygon you hit to paste the plain to it correctly, a simple spark flash would be easier.

I think that should work,
also depending on the shape of the object the bullet hits, if it's a simple plain then you need to angle the "blood" plain at the same angle as the hit object but if it's an awkward shape then it gets more complicated and a bit beyond me, maybe someone else could do that.
this will only make one blood stain si when you shoot again that stain will then be repositioned to the new bullet positions, d'ya see?

I gived it a fast look, but I think the problem is because:

if fired=1
IF OBJECT COLLISION(3,0)>0
bulletposx#=OBJECT POSITION X(3)
bulletposy#=OBJECT POSITION Y(3)
bulletposz#=OBJECT POSITION Z(3)
HIDE OBJECT 3
POSITION OBJECT 4,bulletposx#,bulletposy#,bulletposz#
SHOW OBJECT 4
fired=0
endif

I don't see where you set "fired" to 1, just "shoot=1"...

Anyway that was a fast look...

you might even try puting it about .01 units away from what it hit, so you cant see under it, but it doesnt get covered bye the object you hit

Do you model? contact me: [email protected]
