Four-Directional shooter?

I have a code which spawns a bullet sprite at my player when a button is pressed but how do I make it so it shoots in the direction the player is facing at the time?

Thanks in advance.

You could try using "spawn another object" in your players events? as opposed to "system > create object"

I think will cause the bullet when spawned from the player to inherit the angle?..

I just cant seem to get the projectile to spawn at the location of the player... any help?

Can you upload a capx file buddy?

or, Are you spawning the bullet on the same layer as your player and or at the default imagepoint?

If it's a top down shooter you could look at constructs built in template "top-down shooter" for an example of the code by going file > New > Template... etc..
