How do I create alternating bullets

hi, i want to have 2 weapons being held by a top down player. How do i game the weapons alternate?

First thought is

assuming you mean that you have two weapons that you want (on a key/mouse press) to fire weapon a for one shot then weapon B for the next shot.

You could do it with a flag/counter/variable that is set to "left"

when the gun is fired then gun left routine is called and at the end of this routine the flag is set to "right"

so when the gun is fired again it will call the fire right routine

so in pseudo code it would be something like

on mouse pressed

--if "left" then -- spawn left bullet at left location : set flag to "right"

--else -- spawn right bullet at right location : set flag to "left"

not tested but sounds right - I will try to put up a capx soon.

capx

(two versions one using a string variable and one a boolean - I would go with the boolean for this left/right example)

Here is a different way..
