How do I spawn multiple object from one sprite and at random angles of motion?

I am trying to get a shotgun type of effect and I would like to know how would you spawn 5 bullets each traveling at random angles.

try:

on [shoot button] pressed

repeat 5 times

---> create object (bullet)

---> set angle (bullet) to "gun.angle + random(-15,15)"

this example creates a bullet, then sets its angle to no more than 15 degrees off the direction the gun is pointing. repeated 5 times. a bullet behavior will automatically move the bullets forward the set angle.

OH MY GOD!!! you are such a life saver. Thank you very much!!!!!!!!!!!

actually a problem. on each shot it takes away 5 bullets when I only need one bullet taken away when a shot happens. How do I fix that problem?

Just remove the repeat 5 times, move the actions under the button press event directly.

I take it you mean Ammo? Sorry for the confusion.

My first thought is to...

ammo = 100

bullet5 = 0

if bullet5 >= 5

---> - 1 from ammo

---> set bullet5 to 0

on [shoot button] pressed

repeat 5 times

---> create object (bullet)

---> set angle (bullet) to "gun.angle + random(-15,15)

---> +1 to bullet5

Do you just want 1 ammo taken away for each of the shotgun rounds? then you would use the repeat block as a sub event, and put the subtract 1 ammo on the actual event.
