Actor Help. Firing Mechanism

fadelakin

I'm working on a shooter and I want the missiles to fire when the user touches the button. So basically you touch to move the ship around but I want it so when the user touches the button, the ship will fire a missile. Anyone know how?

icanmake

make a boolean attribute called shoot.
on the button make a rule that says, when touch is pressed, change attribut "shoot" to true

then on the ship actor, make a rule that says when attribut "shoot" is true, spawn actor "missile"

then in the missile actor make an accelerate behavior.

hope this helps

OMG thank you. it works but it only fires once. Any idea to make it fire all the time when the button is pressed?

Also it only fires to the left. I want it to go up

fadelakin

I did. I set the direction to 90 degrees so it could go up but it still went to the left

It works now. thanks. just gotta figure out how to make it not fire only one. when i hit the button, it fires but when i hit it again, it does nothing.
