I need a problem ironing out here.

I have the mouse as my fire button but I need help on a few things:

1. How do I fire two bullets at the same time

2. After the gun has fired to stop the muzzle flash appearing until the mouse is pressed again, here's my code (i will leave the crosshair out, the model is on the DBC disk)

3. Some weapons will be automatic, how do I do a constant stream of bullets?

Mucho thanks in advance for any help.

p.s. give me some views on what the game looks like so far.

im not entirely sure on teh code but from what i recall on teh muzzle flash question you should be able to say:
while mouse1= 1 show muzzle flash
if mouse1= 0 hide muzzle flash
provided the muzzle flash is an object or image it should work... err no tin that exact wording, so dont copy and paste it in

i need a copy of the 1.03 exe or i cant work on my game anymore

only prob with that is that it will show it for how ever long you hold the mouse down. so you have to put it on a timer or something, you could just only show it if the mouse is clicked and a variable is below a certain amount eg


you could probably do it with the timer() command but this is easier me thinks.

ARE YOU A 3D MODELER??? IF SO WE NEED YOU!!!

yeah but if its an automatic gun you are going to want to hold it down, maybe if u threw in an animation in the image or object and repeat the firing then the show object should work. saves all that extra coding.
