Hi

Me and The Nerd was thinking about how you make that kind of shooting like in a pro FPS game? Not just some ugly plain flying out from the gun.
How do you make shooting like in this game:

???

Any tutorials or help will be highly appreciated

[EDIT] By the way, we're using DarkBASIC Pro

Try texturing the plain with some glow texture such as the attached above.
Ghost it, and fade it to 1000.
That works for me

Or you can try shooting a line from the gun and checking for collisions with it, like a raytracer.

Thank you

But we're looking for a tutorial or code snippet.
None of us have that much experience with FPS's, so a tutorial or code snippet would be nice

We would like an explanation on HOW you make those bullets fly out from the gun
How do you make them move that fast, and keep 'em comming like, fx if you're shooting with a machine gun?

Lets say you have a player object.
Position a limb on that player's hand/gun. That'll be the starting position of the bullets. Then you set the bullets to the gun's orientations, and move them.
You should also, recycle bullets.

But could you be a bit more specific about what exactly are you having difficulties with ?

That's what a raytracer is for. When the machine gun is shooting, the model does soem animations for effects purposes, and since the "bullets" are moving so fast, you can't see them. And if anything is in the way/colliding with the invisible line, they react to it. Sorry I have no code.

It's okay
But if anyone has some code that could help us understanding how to make that kind of shooting, it would be cool if you would share your knowledge with us
Almost the only thing we need to learn to make a good First-Person Shooter game, is how to program the shooting.
