Can someone give me a code snippit in which it shows you how to load a gun (a cylinder will do) and load up x number of bullets and manipulate those bullets?

NOTE: x meaning as many bullets as I want...some guns fire faster then others...

You'll have to set some kind of limit on the number of bullets you have at one time, and keep an array of data for their velocities.

I wrote this off the top of my head, it should work, give it a try, it'll shoot 10 bullets repeatedly.



am I missing anything? That should work.

yeah, I was going insane trying to figure out a machine gun code. I stayed up all night and failed a history quiz drawing charts of where a bullet would be and if you were able to shoot the next one and when, then i thought of this and got really happy, cuase its waaay more simple than I had ever imagined.

That code does work right? The only problem with multiple bullets is that the game will lag with so much collision detection.

Haven't tested, but it should, so if it doesn't, you've found another bug.

BUGS! and not only that but i recommend you use an array for EVERYTHING in a games so you can change the laue of one thing without affecting another...for example...

without array:
I want to change the number of bullets for my player...but I can't increae it because an object with that number (lets say x+1)is already made...
array: my code has many algorithms with arrays so that if want to increase the number of bullets the proggram will handle the rest of the objects
Stupid example: I want to increse the number of bullets from 10 to 1000...arrays will take care of everything.....


hard to explain but thats the way it is...can someone please give me a WORKING piece of code WITH arrays?

(you did a nice job though...)

you wouldn't have to worry about it being already made if you simply made a reserved area of numbers for bullets and set a max limit, say a number between 1 and 1000. An array would make it overly complicated...
