That's the only thing I can think of.

This is what it looks like in game.

That's what I also thought. But they just shoot straight for some reason.

That's what the Event looks like.

Edit:

Thanks to the "X.Angle - 45 + random(90)" command the they shoot in the correct angle. But it's only working on some enemies for some reason.

Hello there. This might me a little bit of a newbie question but I figured I'll ask for help.

So here I am trying to create a basic top down shooter. However I'm having trouble getting the enemy to shoot In a random direction. I want them to shoot In front of them - like this ugly paint drawing can illustrate.

However I can only get them to shoot straight.

An "always" and " "set angle" event obliviously don't work.

Then I tried to set it to the "X millisecond, spawn a bullet" event but that only made a few fly in different directions.

I'm at your mercy. Please help me!
