all you have to do is make an actor you want to shoot then in the shooter actor put this

When Space is pressed
Spawn Actor

There you go

Be warned... when spawning a lot of actors, over time the game will run to a crawl. See if you can change the bullet actor's position back to the ship when it's run its course instead of spawning a new one.

Ok, then your welcome See, not too difficult eh?

X-rayGames

not at all! how do i make a start menu?

Ok so first make a new scene. Then you can make an actor, give it the behavior display text. You can then write whatever you want such as "start" or "play"

Next you want to insert a rule that states:

When touch is pressed, change scene to.. whatever scene you want to go to. This is just something you should start with. You can also add an instructions actor, etc all leading to different scenes
