Well I can easily get the shooting code to work right but I have a problem with it. When ever a player gets near the shooting range like oview(5)) or whatever it always follows them I want it so that it gos straight forward.Like on Tanks by Shadowdarke whenever it shoots it goes straighto forward.If someone would be so kind as to help me it would be greatly appreciated.PLZ HELP!!!!

Thanks,

Bump-Much!

I have some code that will do kinda what you want, but its a little sloppy,

you only want it to go a certain distance away from the player?


Why me?

Try asking better questions. What is "the shooting code" that you're using?

I have a little snippet for Tanks style projectiles on my site at http://shadowdarke.byond.com/snippets/projectile.zip

Please study it and try to see why it is broken up the way it is. The shield is a demonstration of a projectile obj. It's not meant to be used for every projectile in the game.
