Left click to shoot to mouse point,

Right click to shoot to screen centre.

You could also add in some fancy stuff like particle effects that move from the laser origin to the mouse co-ords/screen centre.

thanks a lot mekonbekon

mekonbekon can you explain me how to control the red bullets in your capx, firing with the joypad xbox if i push the button B for firing, and control the directions with the analog left joystick?

i dont use the mouse for my game, thanks

Hi imothep85

I haven't used the joypad plugin, but I would guess that you could use:

Axis(Gamepad, Index)

...to move an invisible object on the screen, and then use the co-ordinates of that object in place of the mouse (x,y).

i solved it using your file and doing some changes mekonbekon
