Help with fire system!

DreamWorld

I want my tank to fire in 4 directions up,down,left,right. How can I do it?
Instead of changing the rotation of the image of the tank I change the image.

DreamWorld

Thanks it works but there is a problem with that. When I change direction the bullet changes direction too. Is there anyway to fix it?

DreamWorld

anyone?

Can you describe this a bit more? Your bullet doesn't fire the same way the tank is facing?

DreamWorld

It is. But when I change direction of my tank so does the bullet. If I fire to the left and the go up the bullet will do the same.

dreamworld, piece of cake to fix, when I first got started out with GS, that happened to me too.

You need to create one more attribute on the bullet itself. Call that direction too. At the very top of your bullet rules, create a new new that says:

change attribute self.Direction to game.Direction.

and then change all your direction rules to use self.Direction instead of game.Direction.

When the actor get's spawned, it will assign itself a direction (self.Direction). So when you hit a different button, keeps it's original direction.
