Programming bullets

[Skeets]

Is there any way to program a bullet? I want the bullet to stop once it hits the wall and stick. I am making one of those games where you have to shoot different colored balls to make matches. How do you make bullets bounce or stop?

Stuckboy and I did an example of something very similar to this a while ago:

Although it's possible you want something less complex than that - if you're just using the default movements, create a bullet object at the location of the bullet just before you destroy it.

Objects created using the "Shoot an object" actions are handled differently from others as far as movement goes, so if you want greater control over them, use a Bouncing Ball movement and set the direction and speed on creation of the object.

Ok, the problem is that the shooting can't be random, but comes from a different spot since when it turns the location of the spot I want the ball to come from changes. In your example the bullets come from random positions, but I want them to come from a certain location different according to where the cannon is pointing.
Thanks,

I made a game like this that I never finished a long time ago. I'll post it.

---EDIT---

Sorry, that was the wrong version of the game I was looking for. I can't find the other one now, but I am in a hurry and will look for it later

That wasn't what I was originaly looking for, but it works great!! I didn't know you could create from action point!! Thanks!
