machine gun spray

[willow]

how would you create a effective machine gun effect.

what i have is main charc activing a machine gun but i dont know how to do a bullet spray effect.

could you help?

Just shoot the bullets constantly every frame? I do not know why it would have its own 'effect'... It just fires every frame, like an always event.

I think what you want to do is select a few directions when you are shooting, so it goes off in multiple directions when you fire. Just do straight, one above, and one below it.

i cant seem to figure out how to do this, Just shoot the bullets constantly every frame.

I can only get it to fire one bullet.

What i have is anim shooting this has 15 frames.

i am not sure how to create the bullets and have them fire every frame

use "repeat while key is pressed">
shoot bullet

if you want to space it out more, also add "every XX seconds"

the length of your shoot animation is pretty massive, but that shouldnt matter

Use a single condition "Animation frame = {frame for firing}" and make sure the animation will loop while the key is held.

opps im sorry i should have said this is for the enemy shooting at me and not the other way around.

but i would like my player to use a machine gun as well.

thanks for the help
