Hi! I am making a point and shoot game and I need the bullet to go to where an actor following the mouse is. I was suggested to do this,

when I receive [ Shootv]
show
go to [gun v]
glide () secs to x: (Corss hair X) y: (Cross hair Y)

The problem is the cross hair moves a lot and I don't know how to get the position of the cross hair into the glide block! So if anyone could help with that it would be much appreciated.

Can you share.

I would do something like this:

when I receive [shoot]

go to [gun ]

point towards [mouse pointer v]

repeat until < <<touching [edge v] ?> or <touching [bad guy v] ?>>>
move (10) steps
end

hide

To get the position of the crosshair, try using this in the crosshair sprite.

when green flag clicked
if <mouse down?> then
set [Cross X v] to (x position)
set [Cross Y v] to (Y position)
end

That'll record the position of the cross hair whenever you click to those two variables, allowing you to use them in the glide-to script.

No need for extra variables if the crosshair is a single sprite, the sensing block can access the x and y position.

([x-position v] of [Sprite1 v])

Ohhh yeah.. I completely forgot/overlooked that block.
Thanks for reminding me.

You guys really helped, thanks!

Hello, replying to random topics is not the place for this. You should ask on people's profiles.

i just made the crosshair go to the mouse when mouse down? = true and when that happened i made the screen turn (you can do this in a single sprite)
like this:

when mouse down?
broadcast : crosshair go to mouse
broadcast : screen turn?
