Ah thanks, I also would have never thought of changing the ships width and then comparing its Y position with the cannonballs to make the splash.

Ok The download worked, I've got most of the stuff i want working except player 2's cannon balls get destroyed instantly if the angle of the cannon isn't like 20 degrees or higher for some reason, everything is the same as player 1 so I'm confused.

I'm not totally new to construct I've gone though those tutorials, i'm just not sure what the best way is to do things, also for some reason I can't download the cap

Genious! So what do I exactly make the turret out of? turret behavior? Also could you send me the sprite for that cannon. I'm kind of new to construct i need a more in depth explanation.

EDIT:

So far I've gotten a cannon sprite and then Controlling it with when key down cannon.angle+2 and cannon.angle-2

when I angle the cannon to shoot on an arc, the ball doesn't change it's trajectory according to the angle, also how do i make the ball destroy itself after it goes through its arc to make it seem like it is "Hitting the water" or "Hitting a boat"

I have the latest version according to the website and update check yet I cant open it.

Anyone?

Ah i see, thanks.

Another question, when i change the ships direction, how do i make the cannon ball shoot in the other direction? Instead of always shooting to the right?

I changed the cannonball from a physics with bullet to just physics, and then used Always set force.

So how would I change the direction with that?

I want the cannonball to do a nice curve up and then down

Also any idea why the ship continues to move even when i do "On key release deactivate bullet"?

Thanks

Ok so basically im trying to get a pirateship to shoot a cannon ball, simple right? I should use the

On key pressed space

spawn "cannonball"

type thing.

But for some reason it will not spawn?

I've tried spawning other objects without success. What am I doing wrong?

Yeah I know it looks similar to the kid, I sort of looked how he was shaped so I could make something that doesn't look like a square with a face, or just some blob. But don't worry I'm not useing that one anyway.

Heres pretty much what I want it to look like.
