I need help make an effective way of shooting a bullet in an FPS. The I have it, is when the bullet reaches so far the bullet is hidden and the distance vriable is set to zero, the distance variable has to be set to zero before it can shoot another bullet.


My problem is, when the player reaches a certain point, (however far the distance is before the bullet is deleted) the bullets keep shooting faster and faster, until they stop, and well that's not how it is supposed to be, if anyone could help, I would be extremely grateful

Your distance is absolute - that's the problem. So if you are stood at x = 0, or x = 39999, the bullet still stops at 4000. in So scenario 1, the bullet would travel 4000 units, in scenario 2 it would travel 1 unit.

Try using

if object position x(bullet)> camera position x() + 4000

instead.
