In the final level of my most recent game I was wondering how to make a sprite shoot projectiles like bullets. I've thought of things like making the projectile part of the sprites costume but I am sure that wont work. thanks for helping

Well, you could make a seperate sprite which would be the projectile. It would be located in the barrel of the weapon. When the sprite (which will shoot) wants to shoot, you could broadcast a message. When the projectile receives the message, it would move an infinite amount of steps and would hide when it touches the enemy. Something like this:

For sprite that will shoot:

when green flag clicked
if <key [ v] pressed?> then
    
broadcast [Shoot! v]
end

For bullet:

when I receive [Shoot! v]
move (1000000...) steps
forever
    
if <touching [enemy v] ?> then
    
hide
end

end

Hope I helped!

You can create a costume in the sprite that's firing it, then you can do this….

when green flag clicked
forever
    
if <key [ v] pressed?> then
    
create clone of [myself v]
end

end

when I start as a clone
switch costume to [bullet v]
point towards [mousepointer v]
repeat until <touching [ v] ?>
move (22) steps
    
wait (0) secs
end
delete this clone

I recommend a variable that restrics firing bullets to avoid lag.

That could miss it though. I would recommend this:

when green flag clicked
forever
if <key [ v] pressed?> then
    
create clone of [myself v]
end

end

when I start as a clone
switch costume to [bullet v]
point towards [mousepointer v]
bullet detection

Edit this block to “Run without screen refresh”:

define bullet detection
repeat until <touching [enemy v] ?>
move (1) steps
end
delete this clone
