Well you would start a loop and shoot an object from the player on that loop. Every couple pixels that the object moves (checked by the loop), you would create a node at the position of the shot object. Nodes are simply invisible small active objects used for holding place. After the shot object collides with whatever you are shooting at, complete the chain and delete the nodes if necessary.

Hi Brondon
I'm new at the mmf and I'm trying to create a video game about the millitary. The problem is I can't figure out how to make my characters shoot.

You can make your character shoot by using the built-in shoot function, which I wouldn't recommend in this case. You can also use the Clickteam Movement Controller and a vector movement, which there are examples for in your Multimedia Fusion 2 folder. The last method, and the one I would suggest is to use a loop and simple trigonometry to position the object you will shoot.

what are nodes

The nodes are just normal actives, like your player. The only difference is that you would basically be using them as placeholders or markers to set up the "rope" segments.
