How do You Firing Missles Automatically?

MichaelSilliman

Im making a game where the spaceship has to protect a planet, and the enemy ship fires missles every 3 seconds automatically. I did the spawn actor thing and selected the acot (Which is the missle) and tested it. It worked, but the missles didnt fire they just spawned in front of the wall that spawns them. I need them to shoot towards the ship and for the ship to shoot his bullets too. I set it so the space bar shoots, but again, it places the bullets in front of the ship, they dont go towards the other side. If someone could tell me how to do this/give me a link to a video tutorial, that would be great. Thanks

Try checking out any of the GameSalad vids on Youtube. You just need to do a search for GameSalad and for your case, a shoot 'em up.. Also, don't hesitate to D/L one of the free GS templates in the HELP\MANUALS section of GS.. Those are a good starting point for learning the ins and outs of making games..



That vid should give you the basics for making your missiles fire (you need to give them velocity).
