How do I solve my problem with "shooting"?

I tried to start prototyping a game. As a first action my Sprite should "shoot". For that, I found a tutorial on youtube.

For shooting, i catch a keyboard event (space). Then, my Sprite should spawn a new Sprite (its the bullet with the behaviour "Bullet".)

The problem is the follow:

If I start the "preview layout", the event is started automatically, BUT only once. It does not react on my keyboard.

Is one of you knowing something about that behaviour?

Thank you

Hey I think I used the same tutorial. Try adding another action after the bullet is spawned, [set position] I also think that tutorial also talks about making a shoot_direction variable in the object, so I also add the even [set angle of bullet @ shoot_direction]

Thank you. It works now (with a small bug)

For users with same problems:

I forgot in the properties to allocate the event sheet...

The only bug I still have is, that wile running the program, the firs "shot" is still generated on the start event. But I will find and fix it ;-)

Cheers,

Tom
