How do I set bullet angle of motion?

I am trying to fire bullets at various angles with respect to the player's angle to simulate a shotgun effect.

If I simply spawn a bullet with set angle=yes, then it fires in the direction the player is facing. That's great but I would also like a bullet to fire 30 degrees off from that angle.

I have tried:

Spawn Bullet on layer 1

Set Bullet angle of motion to player.Angle + 30 degrees

I've tried it this way and in the opposite order. Neither does anything but fire the bullet in the player direction.

It works when I change 'Set angle' to No.

I am guessing that your bullets are not yet moving when you are setting the angle of motion ? If they have zero motion (velocity) then they cannot have an angle of motion. This was the explanation I got

"The bullet's angle of motion is based on it's x and y velocity. If a bullet isn't moving then what is it's angle of motion? Think about it.

And you have the bullet property 'set angle' = 'yes' - "Set the objects angle to the angle of motion".

So when the bullet isn't moving, it's angle of motion = 0 and it's angle gets set to 0."

This lesson was provided by ramones ...

(Sorry, it's early and I am still on my first coffee and have not had my anti-silly pills yet)

Yeah. I had 'set angle' set to Yes.

When I changed it to No it worked. Prior to that I was setting the angle before and after the bullet spawn but neither worked.

Thanks for the insight

For the "set angle of motion" action to work, you need to first set the speed of movement > 0.
