i think your problem is just that the computer does it so fast that it fires 10 bullets in the time you click the mouse once.

I've had these problems before too, but im not sure how to help you in this case because all the methods I know will freeze the game until you let go.

Sorry I cant help you, but read this thread and see if you can integrate it into your game.

hope that helps.

What you need to do is add a delay timer to your shooting code.

if mouseclick()=1 and delay = 0
delay =30
do shooting stuff here
endif

if delay > 0 then dec delay

Thats how I have always done it, hope that helps.

that it moves slow is due the Wait 75.

it waits a while and stops the shole game for a while and then continues.it does it quick stopping so that explains the slow movements.

so never use a Wait 75 in a shooting code...use a timer and DELAY the shooting.

B-DA FIRE!

About your first problem, if you want them to keep clicking in order to shoot, you could just use a FLAG value, which changes from 0 to 1. When it is at 0 you can shoot, but when it reaches 1 you can't, and it only goes back to 0 when you are not pressing the mouse.

EXAMPLE:



Just another way.
