Right now I have a ship that shoots lasers out of it but i want it so a fir button will shoot the lasers out of the ship. Thank You.

This time question is better described - you are learning

Make a game boolean attribute. Put an actor in your scene, and put a rule:
If touch is pressed:
Change attribute game.Shoot to true
Otherwise
Change attribute game.Shoot to false

And in your ship actor, add additional rule:
If game.Shoot is true
Here goes the shooting the AA batteries powered laser rules

hey followed your template exactly but mine only shoots one laser at a time any ideas on this?

Make sure that you have change attribute game.Shoot to false in Otherwise section of the rule in the Shoot button.

Hey, I am just asking this, because this is a gun shooting thread. How should I go about making a player shoot? Should I make the character and the gun separate, and then make an animation for picking up a gun on the floor? Or can I just make a character holding a gun as one picture? I'm worried that if I make the character holding the gun as one image, he'll look like he's shooting from his body, and not his gun. Would that happen?

just create a game attribute to know when you click
