overhead shooter 4 direction firing

Right, this is driving me insane and i know it has been asked to death, and ive read the lot.

But i still dont get it ... i have a overhead shooter with 4 directions of movement..(thunderforce 2 inspired)

how do i fire in the direction im facing ? surely it cant be as complicated as some examples..arrgh just when you think your working stuff out :P

All you have to do is set the angle of your bullets to the same angle of your spaceship and in the image editor ensure both are facing the same way.

i press space to shoot, so do i have to put that command 4 times with the angles? could you do a quick example?

Is this what you wanted?

thanks, i cant test it at the moment as my pc has blown up and im on a imac g3 :(

thanks for the time..hopefully i can get another pc to learn from it :) lol

I might have just misunderstood you grossly.

Just spawn an object with a bullet behavior?

ah thanks thats brilliant !!!i think i over complicated things , i had a different animation for every direction..

and of course i forgot things have to face right :P
