i had an idea to animate the bullets in a modelling program. (going forward). then all you have to do is write play object insted of loads of code plus, you can choose loads easier with a modeler program the positions of wher the bullet starts.

Unfortunately, you would have to write a lot of code to make sure the bullet stops animating when it hits a surface.

and what is the difference between these:

play object bullet
and
move object bullet, 100

it would still be as much code

Say what?

I was saying you would have no way to tell when the bullet hits someone or something.

In theory, shouldn't collision still work?

However, this isn't that complex - move object works FINE, and if you made an animated bullet I'm pretty sure the file size would be larger than the normal one.

I get them just as I'm falling asleep, and by the time I'm waking up all that's left is a neat-idea-shaped hole in my mind.

If you want to make good shooting graphins like in 1 person shooting games you could have a certain distance that a weapon can shoot, when you fire draw an invisible line and if it detects object then it hits, that way some weapons shoot farther than others. Than just animate bullets coming out the side of the gun. Thas how they do like the 007 games. You should try and put this into code.
