I added all the movements and shooting codes, however the bullets right now go straight forward but I want them to tilt up and down with my mouse movement ... I tried to use my.tilt=mouse_force.y; but I doesn't do anything... Is there anyway to solve this problem please?

You can place model at the center of player, and then make a pointer (for example) bullet_pos. Then you change bullet_pos.TILT with mouse_force.y and make it's PAN equal to player's PAN. And after all that, in your bullet script, make bullet's PAN,TILT,ROLL equal to 'bullet_pos' PAN,TILT and ROLL (vec_set(my.pan,bullet_pos.pan);) I hope point taken. Edit: I've noticed that there are a lot of errors in your script, that's why it doesn't work... Last edited by 3run; 12/21/10 20:43. Reason: ***** Looking for free stuff??

When I make the arrow visible and look at the shot bullets they don't point to or go to the exact same level as of the mouse location .... I don't know whether that's understandable or not...
