I finally got my fireing code working, but i've run into a problem. My bullet fires from the center of my turret not the end of it. How do I make it so that I fire from the end of the turret.





IF your rolling along the ocean in you jet ski and the wheels fall off. Do you still have enough pancakes to cover a doghouse?

? whats wrong with firing from the center? but if you wanted it to fire from the end a simple way would be to set the bullet to the same position and rotation of the turret (as you have obviously done) with the object hidden. move the object forward the distance to put it at the end of the gun. start firing code and show object. Hope this helps.

a# = turret rotation angle
r# = radius of first box(turret) + length of gun barrel

x = cos(a#)*r#
z = sin(a#)*r#

y = depends on height of turret object
