Shooting an object at another object is wildly inaccurate

There are a lot of 360 degree shooting examples but I would also love to see an example file of what your doing to see if we can make the built in shooting better.

Check this site for the examples.

You can get this kindog inaccuracy when using some of the built in movements, since many of them use 32 directions only.

For more a more accurate/ smooth result you should do 2 things.

USE FLOAT X Y COORDINATES
The built in coordinate system is int based, meaning an Object cant have a X or Y coordinate of, say, 5,5 or 8,33 ( if you try it will 'round' the coordinate ).
This is in many cases a problem if you want to apply more smooth movements to Objects.
AlterableValues can hold Float values ( decimal numbers ), so to use Float coordinates give your bullet 2 AltValues called X_ and Y_.

USE 360 DEGREES OF MOVEMENT
Many of the built in movements are limited to a maximum og 32 directions of movement, wich as you have experienced can be quite inaccurate for longer travel distances.
To give your bullet 360 degrees of directional movement as opposed to only 32 directions, give your bullet an AltValue called Angle_

MOVE
To now make your bullet move in a direction at a speed, do this code:

+ Allways
-> bullet set X_ to X_ - Sin( Angle_ ) * speed
-> bullet set Y_ to Y_ + Cos( Angle_ ) * speed

I have an example of this, click Please login to see this link., click Mercury, and try to shoot all the aliens without moving, especially the middle row.
