I would love to know how to code a model shooting, the model does not move and is invisible but just shoots a bullet.mdl in one direction.
kinda like every 5 seconds it shoots another bullet facing the same direction always.
I want to make on my game that while I am walking through a pyramid cave I have to overcome obstacles one is arrows that fly at me from a wall I have to pass through them those 5 seconds that it stops shooting.

thanks in advance.

Hey I could post some code, but I need to know which version of gamestudio you are using. (because of syntax differences)

thanks

I bought gamestudio about a year ago the one I have is version 6.1.

Well first I would update to either 6.31 or 6.40 (both on the download page, 6.31 is at the very bottom of that page), or why didn't you update yet?

Then we can talk about the script.

ok I updated it to 6.40.

anyone know ?

EDIT: Case cleared for me.

Alright lets do this then
Here is the code I came up with: (not tested)
Code:

---

string arrow_str = <arrow.mdl>; //your arrow model


function arrow_event()
{
	//hit an entity?
	if(event_type == event_impact || event_type == event_entity)
	{
		if(you == player) //player = pointer to your player model
		{
			you.health -= 25; //do damage
		}
		
		my.skill1 = 1; //set my skill 1 so I get removed
	}
	
	//hit a wall?
	if(event_type == event_block)
	{
		my.skill1 = 1; //remove me
	}
}

action arrow_act
{
	my.enable_impact = on;
	my.enable_entity = on;
	my.enable_block = on;
	my.event = arrow_event;
	
	my.skill1 = 0;
	
	while(!my.skill1)
	{
		//change the 5 for making the arrow faster or slower
		//if there is a syntax error with time_step, change it into time
		c_move(my,vector(5*time_step,0,0),nullvector,ignore_passable);
		wait(1);
	}
	
	wait(1); //just to be safe
	ent_remove(me);
}

action arrow_creator
{
	my.invisible = on;
	my.passable = on;
	
	my.skill1 = 0;
	
	while(!my.skill1) //get rid of this entity by setting skill1 to 1
	{
		you = ent_create(arrow_str,my.x,arrow_act);
		you.pan = my.pan; //let the arrow face the same way
		wait(-5); //wait 5 seconds
	}
	
	wait(1);
	ent_remove(me);
}

cool, thanks for the code

I tried it but it doesn't seem to work at first sed gave me an error so I changed "time_step" to "time" like you told me and it worked.
I then made the arrow model and a model for the arrow creator.
I placed the mdl of the arrow creator on my wed game and gave it the action arrow_creator then I build and when I runned all that happened was that the arrow creator exist but is invisible (that's ok because I would like that) but I first see two arrows flying towards a direction and two arrows stuck where the arrow creator.mdl is and no arrows being created or moving.

I would like this to work because I would like to make these obstacles and in a later level big rocks rolling towards me, but if not that's ok because I can place something else and eventually figure it out.

Ok here is a suggestion:
change the "wait(-5);" in the arrow_creator action
into "sleep(5);"

cool, thanks alot Thunder the sleep(5) did it.
