Dropping icicle

I wanted an icicle drop from the icicle object every so many seconds. It drops however.. in the wrong direction. It goes right at an angle.<img src="http://i.imgur.com/rIeDx.png" border="0" />

First of all, why there's "wait" action after spawn?

Second, what behavior do you use for icicle_bullet's movement?

Most probably, right after spawning, you'd want to set the object's angle to 90 as objects spawn turned in the right direction by default, so if you want it to go down, the angle is 90 (up = -90, left = 180, rotating clockwise).

Hope that helps.

Still goes in the same direction... The icicle has a bullet inside of it.

Well now they spawn directly below the icicle block like they're suppose to. But they just go right like you said. Changing the angle of motion doesn't seem to help much.

Try moving the line where you are setting the bullet angle after the line where you spawn the icicle_bullet. It's probably setting an angle on an object that doesn't actually exist yet.

Both ways.. no difference.

mmmm, bit of a long shot here, but try clicking on the icicle_bullet object in the project list (so that it selects all instances of the bullet) and set the bullet behaviour "Set Angle" to "No". I did a quick test here and that seemed to fix it.

Failing that, do you mind posting your capx to dropbox?

Yes that fixed it! Thank you so much for your time testing your own. Yes, next time I'll post the capx to make things easier.
