Well, i know how to do shooting based on a mob's direction but how would you go about making an obj walk quickly towards where a player clicked on his screen?

I'd greatly appreciate either the code or some help as to how to do this.

obj/Bullet
    icon = 'bullet.dmi'

atom/Click()
    var/obj/Bullet/B = new(usr)
    walk_to(B,src,0,1)

hrm, it works but i dislike the way the bullet travels i'mma modify that looping it and using step_towards()

thanks though revojake :-)

You could use pixel movements for the projectile, there is a library(maybe demo) called "Pixel Projectiles" You may be able to use that or learn what you need from it.

look up Real Time Line effects in the libraries. looks like that might help.
