This is suppose to put a smoke object at the position of the bullet every .1 second (time is global). It only updates like every half a second, and it also only uses 1 object. when there are actually 10.



This Code makes the smoke objects.


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?

Where is the variable time set?

Variables created outside functions can't be access from within functions and vice versa - if you need to access the variable time from both in and outside of the function, look up the global command in the help (Pro only).

I have never been able to get a .png to be transparent I always have to use .bmp. How did you do it? Or did you use alpha channels instead of using the colorkey?
