How do I change bullets angle of motion on creation

Hello, I have ran into a problem while making a shooter platformer game, when my gun creates a bullet, I can not change the bullets angle of motion when it is created. I have got it working if I add a 0.017 second wait before changing the angle of motion, but I want it to change the angle of motion on creation of the bullet.

I am trying to make the gun inaccurate.

The 1st layout is not working. The 2nd layout is the working one but with a 0.017 second delay to the inaccuracy

Thank you for any help, sorry if I am missing the obvious.

looks like the angleofmotion isn't available until the next tick after the bullet is created - that is why the delay works...

but you can achieve what you want by setting the bullet angle (not angleofmotion), and you can do that immediately after it is spawned.

The workaround by Allan can do the job, but it is more a hack than anything, angleofmotion is supposed to be dedicated to doing what you want.

The behavior you describe is pretty surprising, please consider posting a bug report. Something is not doing what it is supposed to be doing.

The original project, and especially Layout1 would be supposed to work, unless I'm missing something.

And the fact that having a "wait 0" action does not help either makes things even more surprising.

Please consider posting the URL for the report in this topic when you are done.
