I am TRYINg to make a FPS. So far I have the gun on the screen and the walking system. I want the gun to aim at the mouse using the center of the screen as coordinates (0,0). How do I do this using DBC?

Thanks in advance

first thing to know - the centre is not 0,0. It's:

x = Screen Width() / 2
y = Screen Height() / 2

The next thing you really need is an Intersect command. In 3D space, pointing at the centre of the screen will not tell you if you hit something in between.

NG's collision system has nice Ray Intersect commands. You can even go as far as knowing precisely where to put the bullet hole.
