how can i get the plain to go just from the player to the mouse, without sticking out behind? also, how can i get the plain to always be scaled to go from the player to the mouse?

Ok, I'm not too sure of your problem, but in your code, you mentioned Cross-hairs, so have a look here.

Hope I Helped...

Sorry, no i didn't run your code, i was in a bit of a hurry, so i just pulled that link from my bookmarks... LoL...

After looking at your code, and actually running it this time... I have deduced a solution HAHA!

You need to set the position of the "bullet" plane so that one end is at the the position of the "Player". Somehting like:


You then need to use Scale Object to change the length of the object... I suggest making the original bullet 100 units long (which you have done) then using the distance of the player to the cross-hairs to stretch the object...



Note that both of those snippets should be in the main loop and that they may not work as desired, but that is a start...
Hope I Helped...

You know, it's really hard with your code set-up... Mabey if you worked from the ground up again, you might stumble across the solution yourself..

I suggest trying to incorperate NewXValue and NewZValue somewhere... and that code i posted above, the stretch object command isn't a command, lol, It's meant to be:



Hope I Helped...
