DB newbie is cool, DB Newbe(or 3) is the bad one.

What do you want us to do with the source code? I don't know what you mean...

Actually, that depends on the position where it will intersect something.

It's a perspective matter. All lines that are parallel with eachother, will end in one point. Which means that all bullet's you shoot and go in the same direction as you're facing, will eventually reach the crosshair at a distance of infinite.
If you can calculate the distance to the intersection point, you are also able to point the bullet to that intersection point.

You will need some kind of raycasting method for this. I'd suggest Sparky's collision DLL, but this only works with DBC enhanced version. (DLL's are disabled in the non-enhanced version).

A very simple solution would be hiding your bullets and when shooting, position them at the exact same coordinates as the camera. Which means the bullet will <always> point to the crosshairs position.

Sorry DB Newbie for the mix up. But i will try and help you ( I dont give out soruce code but the next best thing should do)

To Shoot a bullet.
First you need to check for left mouse button
--If MouseClick() = 1
Then you need to create a sphere, but you need to make sure that its a sphere that is not in use yet
-x= 10
-while object exist(X) = 1
-inc x
-endwhile
that will find the next avaiable object starting from obj ten.
make the sphere
make object sphere x,.5
Now position that object, at the guns position.
-position object x,posx,posy,posz
(do any aiming of the bullet)
then you need to have the bullet move forward in each loop.

If you need more help, just give sample code. But please show effort in trying to do it your self.
