Hi everyone, I’m doing my Processing homework and I’ve got my object but I can’t get it to shoot. Can someone tell me the correct code please? I have the following so far: int x = 30; int y = 30; void setup(){ size(500,500); } void draw(){ background(0); fill(255,56,99); ellipse(x,y,60,6…

Think about how shooting works. When a key (use Space Bar which is ’ ') set a marker boolean bulletFlies to true. Before setup () : boolean bulletFlies=false; When it’s true increase the bulletX position and display the bullet

[image] NewCoder1: bullet () call this from draw() please

of course in a real game you can shoot multiple bullets from different positions that fly on the same time. So a few bullets are visible and animated at the same time see Someone please help solving a problem : shooting bullets - #4 by Chrisir

Hey do you know how to do it without using classes?

Yes, I know. Please read my advice and change your code accordingly. Play with it and find the right solution. It’s forum policy not to provide full code solutions

Okay thank you! I’m starting to understand it now :slight_smile:

Make the changes and post your entire code please when you have questions For example the gun is visible throughout and attached to the player (at a small distance) Hence gun is shown in draw() throughout Bullet is different, they appear upon firing

This is the code that I have. I’m able to shoot my bullet but unable to shoot one bullet at a time. Would I have to use another Boolean variable so I can fire a bullet only when it leaves the screen? int x = 30; int y = 60; float gunX = x+20; float gunY = y+20; boolean bulletFlies=false; float…

Yes that would totally work! You could also directly call a function boolean can_shoot(){...} that would tell you if the bullet left the screen (using the built-in variables width and height) and call that function when the right key is pressed to ensure that besides pressing the space bar, no ot…
