I have my big ol' bullet, a sphere,10 thats scaled 100,100,800000 to make a nice long bullet shaped object for semi-instant collision. Now, what code do I need to get the long end sticking out of the camera? I can't rotate it quite right, it always comes out funny. So my little guy would look like this:
guy bullet
O
and wherever he looked, the bullet stayed on that oreintation to the screen?

You'll need to yrotate your bullet the same amount as your camera rotation, and then xrotate it as well (if you have free looking on). This probably won't work with the dodgy rotation commands. You could always try rotating the bullet to zero, and then turning it right and pitching it up or whatever. You'll also have to move the sphere so it isn't sticking out the back as well.

Um...


That's almost certainly not right, I just made it up and haven't tested it (due to the trial version running out). Surely if you have a bullet collision that big, you'll be able to shoot multiple enemies and through walls.

tryin adding the correct media number to make it turn.

bullet = bullet number


yrotate object bullet, camera angle y()
xrotate object bullet, camera angle x()

position object bullet x#+(sin(camera angle y())*sin(camera angle x())*400000),y#+(cos(camera angle x())*400000),z#+(cos(camera angle y())*sin(camera angle x())*400000)
