Hello! You need to first create a bullet sprite
and draw the bullet itself. then we add these
two blocks of code to this sprite:

when green flag clicked
hide
forever
point in direction (player v)
if <mouse down?> then
create clone of [myself v]
wait (0.1) secs
end
end

when I start as a clone
show
repeat until <<touching [edge v] ?> or <touching [enemy v]>>
move (10) steps
end
delete this clone

time and bullet speed can be changed

oh, I forgot, I need to update the block:

when green flag clicked
hide
forever
go to [player v]
point towards [player v]
if <mouse down?> then
create clone of [myself v]
wait (0.1) secs
end
end

I might make a mistake somewhere with a block or script

(I recommend making a copy of the game before every major change to the game)

If you mean point in the direction the player is facing that's not what the above code does - it points towards the player and ignores the direction they are facing. What you want is

point in direction ([direction v] of [player v])
