Rapid Fire problem

mkay, i got an action for an enemy to fire three rounds off every 2 seconds like this:

every 2 sec
>>>>>>>>>>> Start Loop "Enemy Fire" 3 times

then second part

On "Enemy Fire"
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Enemy Shoot object


i run the script and the enemy fires all threee bullets at the exact same time making it appear that the enemy only shot one bullet, i need to know how to do a rapid succession so that the bullets are all behind on another not on top of each other.

help would be greatly appriciated. thanks.

+Every X seconds
+Alt Var < 4
-Star Loop "Enemy Fire"

+On loop "Enemy Fire"
-Enemy Shoot Object
-Add 1 to Alt Var (make an alt variable to keep count of the number of bullets fired)

Then make sure you set the alt var to 0 when the enemy goes to shoot again.

still fires the bullets all at the same time. i need it to fire off about three of them one after another if that clarifies anything.

Fastloops run before frames are drawn, so looping three times will create three bullets in exactly the same place. You might want to set a value that acts as a timer going (add 1 to it if its value is already above 0, for example, and start the sequence by setting the value to 1), and create a bullet when it reaches 10, 20 and 30 (resetting it to 0 when it's at 40).

that worked pretty darn good, thanks again Dave!
