Right, I have my gun model set up and it fire's bullets. I now need to know the best method on how to make empty shell casings eject from the gun. What I want is, when the gun is fired a shell casing model (yellow cylinder) flys out of the side of the gun, rises in the air for a bit then falls down to the ground and stays there, reacts to gravity basically, like if the player looks down at the ground and fires then the instead of arcing in the air it falls down straight away. So how should I do this? Has anyone got some example code? Thanks in advance.

im not promoting dark physics,(get if u want)

but if u had it.you could use code like this:

phy set rigid body position shellcasing#,gunpositionx,gunpositiony,gunpositionz

then give it some force like:

phy add rigid body force shellcasing#,rnd(1000),rnd(1000),rnd(1000),1

that would send it flying up & to the side to go down to the ground & just rest there.

You could just make a plain, and texture it with shells, then scroll the texture out and down when you are shooting?

Unless you want to make your own Gravity Engine you will probably need to get some kind of physics DLL (Dark Physics, Newton, ETC).

But basically I think you can do it something like this
1. MAKE OBJECT CYLINDER Number, Size
2. COLOR OBJECT Number, RGB(255, 255, 0)
3. POSITION OBJECT Number, GunX, GunY + Height, GenZ
4. Add Physics Code (Dll)
5. Done (? maybe)

Anyway thats just my input.
Good luck

Twu Kai, Thanks but gravity won't have an effect on it.

Mickm, Thanks! I'll look into that.
