Hi all,

Im trying to handle bullets from a gun, i decided im actually going to move an object in the direction of the player. so my problem is how would i go about creating many objects for bullets. What i have now is i have an object at the players location and angleXYZ and then i call dbCloneObject to create multiple bullets, only problem is if i use that, when ever the player is holding to fire key (and the object is being created) the camera jumps to (0,0) and away from the player object.

Any suggestions on a better way to do this or to fix it will be appreciated.

I think turning off autocam might do the trick.

try putting dbAutoCamOff(); towards the beginning of your program.

I think you're better off using RayCasts or similar stuff for bullets. It's more accurate to calculate a prediction of a bullet than to "throw" an object.

Another method can be to use a "hit cone" projected and rotated with the view of the player and to check for collision whenever you shoot.

But I'd say rays are the fastest and most accurate. Look into the collision library that floats around this forum. Can't remember the name right now. Sparky's?
