i am trying to create bullets in my FPS but when i click the firing button, darkbasic says that the object doesn't exist. I know it does because i created it and i am looking at it right now.

You have a for/next loop saying that b=10 to 999. When you do that and try to use "b" again... "b" is one number higher... so when you try to access the object using object number "b" it equals 1000. Since you don't have an object number 1000 you see the error. You just need to add "b=10" after the for/next loop.

However, using 989 spheres for bullets is a VERY bad idea!

Consider using textured plains that are rotated to face the camera ... and 989? Do you really need that many? I doubt it. Maybe you should try 10-20 and see if that works, if not you could always increase it as needed but 989 is way to many!

Also, consider not using any bullets at all. When you fire your weapon cast a collision ray to see if you have hit the target and then react accordingly. After all you wouldn't see bullets fired from a real gun. Of, course it depends on the game style but not having any bullets objects will certainly increase frame rate.


Great Britain would be Amazing Britain if it wasn't for idiots like you bringing down the average!

I think it will be fun to see them flying around. I had it just the limb collision shooting, but i wanna see some bullets flying.
