How Do I Fire Bullets Properly?

[LonelyVariety]

How do I fire the bullets properly? I got the timers set up. But as you can see, there’s a random bullet to the right of the player and too many fire at once.

Can you post a screenshot of your events?

This might be of help:

Player shoots bullet as long as Space key is pressed

Yeah.

Try something like this. I didn’t create actual objects for this or test it, just entered names to show some events. I think something is wrong with your timer and it should trigger once for each time the button press is true.

My shooting events look like this:

Have Player shoot on key press

Mine is set up something like this… (my bullets in this case are band-aids)…they shoot in four directions, but I could only capture events for two. You may have to add variables to your objects, the scene, or globally depending on how you want to handle the inventory. I have mine displayed on the GUI so it has to keep track of quantity and if it’s empty, which is a whole other set of events. [shooting]

But I use key presses, so it’s a bit different. Still, it only fires once for each key press and I remember having a similar problem getting mine to work in the beginning.

I hope this helps!

I decided to make mine a bit more similar to your events. But I fixed it by having the bullet only fire when the sound effect isn’t or is done playing.
