Bullets

I need to have a bullet appear to fire from a gun and travel along a ray. I am out of my league with doing it myself. Please help!

well is your bullet a mesh or just a line/particle?
for a mesh or particle just spawn a node(either MeshNode or Billboardnode) and add a flystraight animator or do the movement yourself.
for a line you could use my beamscenenode.

Look at the demo. It has shooting code.

My partner and I haven't done much for it so whichever way u recommend is what we'll do. All I ask is that u explain it and send code. Also what is
beamscenenode?
And I couldn't find the right tutorial.

Sorry if I ask any stupid questions, I'm a noob![/quote]

Well, opening the source file, reading and understand it is YOUR part.

There actually are more than one beam nodes floating around. Just try the mighty search function.

If you're actually serious about writing a game and programming in general, you don't just go out and ask for other people to write your code

I didn't mean for it to come out that way. We are almost done with our game. But I have no clue as how to make a gun shoot. I want is a a link or the concept, we can do the rest as long as it's not to advanced
