Bullet movement

Suggestions for bullet movement, gravity.

When my bullets are shot out I want them to curve slightly for extra realism! Sort of like in soldat.

You can already do this with events. try:

if angle is greater or equal to 90

if angle is less than 270

Rotate clockwise 1 degree

if angle is greater or equal to 270

or

if angle is less than 90

rotate clockwise 1 degree

That should work. You might have to use three events instead, with:

angle less than 90 and greater than or equal to 0 -> rotate clockwise 1 degree

and

angle greater or equal to 270 and less than 360 -> rotate clockwise 1 degree

That would make a circular curve, which might be OK, but isn't a parabolic curve like you would get in real life. An easy way to do that would just be to apply a downwards acceleration to the bullet via events, eg:

+ Always

: Add 100 * TimeDelta to 'YVelocity'

: Set bullet Y to .Y + 'YVelocity'

Good point

Thanks for a solution, but would it not be easier to have this as a checkbox and text field parameter to be easier to apply?

And a "do my game for me" checkbox maybe?

I'm just kidding, but consider that what you suggested it's really elementary coding.. then we would need a million checkboxes for ANY possibility of things happening in videogames..

No, I think it's a valid suggestion. You can do bullet accuracy in events too, but it's a pain and you need to know how to adjust an angle by a random amount. It's a logical addition to the bullet movement.
