Then I'd have the exact same movement events as the player ship for the laser object(s) so they will stay exactly as they are in front of it. .

Try making the laser a good 32px tall and then just make it "Repeat while player presses fire 1>shoot object laser in direction 'up' at speed 100" and it should work... now then I do not know how you would make one that you can't stop on your own... Just be sure you don't have an "every" action in there The above post most likely bored you.

If you want it to slowly show up then OldManClayton's method is good, but if you want it to appear instantly then you should use a fast loop to put a few actives in place. If it doesn't need to stop when it hits something, then just make it one big active and use HWA Creator of Faerie Solitaire: http://www.create-games.com/download.asp?id=7792 Also creator of ZDay20 and Dungeon Dash. http://www.Jigxor.com http://twitter.com/JigxorAndy
MBK Registered 07/06/2007 Points 1578	23rd April, 2010 at 07:00:47 - You could make it one big active like these nice fella's stated, but then give it an animation for shooting (shooting) and an animation for laser particle effects animating (laser). Repeat Space Pressed laser animation is not currently playing ---> change animation to shooting Repeat Space Not Pressed ---> turn invisible or destroy or stop anim (however you want to do it) Shooting Anim is over ---> change animation to laser Edit: oh yea, and loop the laser anim Edited by MBK Click Me! http://www.create-games.com/project.asp?view=main&id=1444 http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?aoo1dnnlq5i Blood of the Ancient One, Seen only as Shadow, Faster than Lightning, Fierce as the Greatest Dragon, Nearly Invisible, Floating in a Dream, Entered through the Demon Door, Destroyer of Evil in a Realm with a Red Sky Scarred, Who could I be ?
