Ok, this is an odd question, but does anyboby know how to make a character shoot (lets say a bullet) to the left or right of your character. Straight ahead shooting is no prob with the move command, but the whole 3d world space thing is driving me crazy. The object pivot seems to be a "world" pivot (ie when my character turns, the shooting goes from the left of character to whatever direction I turn). Any help would be GREATLY appeciated.

If you wanted a cheap 'n easy (but not very efficient) way of doing it, you could just move the enemy left or right slightly using MOVE OBJECT LEFT / MOVE OBJECT RIGHT, record their new positions and place the enemy back in the original place, then use POINT OBJECT to aim the gun / bullet to the left or right of the enemy.
