I have currently been working on a little space shooter, and I've finally finished world 1. However, I'm running into some issues with world 2- I want the enemies (Clones that I randomly spawn on the edges) to shoot at the player, but it seems to be beyond my problem solving skills.

You want the start x and y position and direction for the shot, so create 3 global variables then when you want a clone to shoot, set the variables to the shooting clones x,y positions and direction and then create clone of laser shot. In the laser shot sprite the when I start as clone script should set the clone's x,y position and direction from the global variables. You have all the rest.

My ghost shooter game might be helpful for what you want to do. See the link below:

When your ennemy shoots at you the sprite should change costume from ship to laser. I based my game from the logfather project Firing clones from clones.
