Hi there. I've made a bullet function for my game and i need a little help with it. Sorry if its in the wrong posting area but i dont know what topic it falls under .

Anyway, what i need it to do is spawn a bullet which goes in a set direction relative to the angle of the player (in other words shoot to where the player is pointing). It works to an extent, it spawns the bullets and they move but not in the right direction and sometimes they fly off in random directions. Can anyone help, pretty please .

Cheers.

is this for a first or third person game? you could use set object to camera/object orientation or even rotate the bullet object to the same angle as the camera or 3rd person object is facing (you'll need to use fix object pivot to stabalise the bullet though)

everyday of life is a new chapter that has already been fortold but is up to the soul to capture.
