ya well basically in a nutshell ive got everything i need for the game i just dont know how to make the bullet come out of his gun :\
any help would be highly appreciated...

Be more specific... What have you done? What do you need to have done? Which parts don't work...Post some of your code...



Well... I hope this helps...

well im using the "basic control over a cube" tutorial and all i need is for a little bullet to come out of him and not from off screen like in FPS'es...i dont care how this is done...and my trial just ran out on DB but i installed my hardcopy of DBPro yay!! finally came...but i cant get that tutorial right now but i can if i look...all i want is for a bullet to come out of a cube...

Game Kit gave you a pretty good snippet, but let me see if I can break it down a bit for you.

The first thing you want to do is decide how many bullets you want. It can't be infinite, but it can be big. lets say you want 1000 bullets (really absurd) so you create 1000 objects and then hide them.

for a = 3000 to 4000
make object cube a, 5
hide object a
next a

Next you'll want to know what to do with them! First you need a variable so you know what bullet you are on. Then you read for a mouse click, if that happens position the current bullet at the gun, face it in the direction the gun is facing, and show it. Save all this in some arrays.

All you need now is logic! Have your program sort through all the active bullets. First move them then check for collision. If there is a collision, hide that bullet again and kill whatever it hit.

This is a quick and dirty way to do this, and you may run into problems if you shoot something really far away, and then shoot something close, but its the general concept. Have fun!

t/y very much...but what is the syntax for making the bullet come out of the cube or placing it inside the cube rather...i can get the movement and shooting its just coming form the wrong place :...all i need is a string to place a bullet ready to be shot inside a cube...

p.s. thank you for the code guys that really helped...but the thing about DarkBASIC is i dont know about placement... i came from a Gamemaker background and we had those room maker things so i never worried..
