Hey guys,

So i would like to now how i can make spheres to get created when you hit space bar at an object position. Like galaga if you have ever played it and how it had bullets fire out of the front of your ship.

So thats what im looking for.

All help is appreciated!

Well, without "giving you the codez", you might want to look into the following functions:

spacekey
make object sphere
(or clone object / instance object if you have a source mesh stashed away somewhere)
position object
object position x, y, z
.

This should work.



EDIT: Oh you meant 3D? Well rudolpho beat me anyways.

Yeah, i probably should have been a little more "descriptive" about this .

I am basically wanting a 3d lookalike of galagas shooting system.

Again i should have been more descriptive about this manner, but i was looking for a 3d version of galagas shooting system.
But thanks again for your effort anyways!

Here is TDK's 2D shooting tutorial. I know you're after 3D shooting but a part of programming is learning how to adapt concepts to what you want.
