How do I make a person shoot where he is looking?

basically i want me person to shoot where he is looking and not where the mouse is and i can't figure out how to do that anyone out know?

You really need to show some starting code

and a screen shot of your game idea.

Eg what is your game? side scroll / top down / isometric

What is your control idea?

What is your character mechanic. Separate Gun / Body / Head

etc

Basically though the angle of your character , or where your character is looking, will be (or can be) defined

and you just need to use that angle to set the bullet angle of motion when firing

it is a top down game with 8 directions i want him to throw torches but i had to make so you throw it where the mouse is on screen but i don't like that so i wanted to know if there was a way to make is so he throws it where he is looking.

of course there is...you can pretty much do anything you can think of with Construct

in this case Just set the angle of torch fire based on the 8 direction

eg

right = set bullet angle motion 0

up right = set bullet angle motion 45

up = set bullet angle motion 90

etc

(ps for the down directions use negative angles eg down = -90 deg
