I’m making a game with a digger, at the moment I’ve added a fire mechanism which shoots little projectile, this was just a test to see if I could code it. It works however I do not understand how to adjust for the vehicle movement. Ie if the vehicle is moving is moving forward, how can I make the bullets account for the change in speed.
thanks guys.
Just add the tank speed to the bullet speed (set the initial speed of the bullet to that of the tank)
Thats what I initially thought but however I try it it doesn’t seem to work, and simply sends the vehicle speeds past the projectiles.
The only solution I found that worked was to increase the projectile acceleration.
Sketch updated
Fixed, completely forgot, that the x component of the tank velocity was calculated using its y velocity.
Code rectified, with your suggestion Chrisir, thanks.
