How To Shoot Down A Tunnel

[drnebula]

I want to simulate a space ship that is flying down a tunnel. Does anyone have any ideas what the best way would be to make the space ship shoot so it would look like the bullet was shot down the tunnel (just a little above straight forwards). At some point in the past, I saw a sample file that illustrated this, but have been unable to find it. Any help appreciated.

Set the bullet to look in direction of the co-ordinates of the centre of the screen (ie. x-400, y-300) and use scaling to make it look as though it's getting smaller and further away.

You set scale, Retrieve Data From Object (i.e. the bullet) and set the Scale to "X-Scale - 0.01" or something.

Make a circle in the screen centre so that the bullet destroys once it gets there.

Here's an example of this. Adjust settings to taste. Use space bar to shoot and arrow keys to move ship!

This is a geat example. Just what I was looking for. A student in the game creation club that I run at the high school where I teach asked for this and will really appreciate your file.

No problem, and I'm glad it was what you were looking for. There's a lot you can do with the file. I'd like to see the finished game when you get it done.

The file link is no longer valid. I'd be interested in this example file. Is this reposted somewhere?
