I don't know

SuperSonicmario

when this sprite clicked //or any other hat block (put this in the character sprite)
broadcast [shoot v]

when I receive [shoot v] //put this in the projectile sprite
show
glide (2) secs to x: ([x position v] of [Enemy v]) y: ([y position v] of [Enemy v]
hide
broadcast [enemy shot v]

when I receive [enemy shot v] //put this and all other scripts below in enemy sprite
hide

when gf clicked //put in enemy sprite and projectile sprite
show

Hope this helps

If you only want one bullet/missile on screen at a time you can use a sprite. If you want more than one you probably want to use clones with a new clone being made each time the firing action happens (and the clone being deleted once it hits something or reaches the edge of the screen). The overall method is the same. I haven't done it in Scratch blocks but you can probably work it out.

assuming missile is hidden initially
go to firing sprite
point in right direction (may be mouse controlled, may just be direction of firing sprite or other method)
show missile
move missile in a loop until it hits something or reaches the edge
object being hit probably detects the hit and acts accordingly
hide missile

You probably don't want to glide to the enemy's position and assume you've made a hit - what if the enemy moves?

You can clone and glide the clone

well the problem with dat is when it glides you set it with coordinates so every time you shoot it will go to the same place
