Strafing?

How do I make a character strafe and shoot in the selected direction? I used stop animation to keep the character looking forward but when I strafe left or right it shoots left or right. How would I make my character strafe left and right and still shoot forward? Thanks a lot.

Use shoot in direction (forward) instead of shoot in direction that the character is facing?

Alternatively split the character into a visible part that faces the right way and an invisible part that you actually move about, which would face sideways when you strafe.

Ok but then when I'm not strafing it wouldn't really work out right because I'd still be shooting forward instead of left/right/backwards.

If you are using a key to strafe, you could do something like this:

*(NEGATE)Repeat when (key to strafe) is pressed
+(Key to shoot) is pressed
-Player:Shoot Bullet in direction of player

*(Key to strafe) is pressed
-Set Alterable Value A of Player to Dir(Player)

*Repeat when (key to strafe) is pressed
+(Key to shoot) is pressed
-Player:Shoot Bullet in direction Alterable Value A(Player)

I think that would work
