Hey, can I see the shooting code?

I may have a solution

[Swas]

yes



onClipEvent (load) {
this._visible = false;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
this._x += 10;
}
onClipEvent (mouseDown) {
this._visible = true;
i = i+1;
duplicateMovieClip(this, "bullet"+i, i);

this._x = _root.back.char.gun.gunend._x;
this._y = _root.back.char.gun.gunend._y;
}

I'm guessing this is in the bullet code?

instead of using "this" try using ["bullet"+i]

[Swas]

i edited it

onClipEvent (load) {
this._visible = false;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
this._x += 10;
}
onClipEvent (mouseDown) {
this._visible = true;
i = i+1;
duplicateMovieClip(this, "bullet"+i, i);

["bullet"+i]_x = _root.back.char.gun.gunend._x;
["bullet"+i]_y = _root.back.char.gun.gunend._y;
}

basically the same but did what you said now it only fires every couple of clicks and dissapears when after about 2 seconds
[/code]

yeah actionscript is really weird

try putting the "i = i+1;" after the bullet dupe like:


onClipEvent (load) {
this._visible = false;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
this._x += 10;
}
onClipEvent (mouseDown) {
this._visible = true;
duplicateMovieClip(this, "bullet"+i, i);
i = i+1;
["bullet"+i]_x = _root.back.char.gun.gunend._x;
["bullet"+i]_y = _root.back.char.gun.gunend._y;
}

Actionscript isn't weird... you just aren't doing it right ;)

[Swas]

onClipEvent (load){
i = 0;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
this._x += 50;
if (this._x > 550){
this.removeMovieClip ();
}
}
onClipEvent (mouseDown) {
this._visible = true;
duplicateMovieClip(this, "bullet"+i, i);
["bullet"+i]_x = _root.char.gun.gunend._x;
["bullet"+i]_y = _root.char.gun.gunend._y;
i = i++;
}

Wtf is the driver doing? And, can you move the car at all?

[Swas]

wisteling and tapping on the side of the car, you cant move the car yet im gonna get the shoot right first
