Title: Multi-directional shooting
Post by: Seiryu33 on January 30, 2023, 08:31:27 PM

I've been wrangling with this one for a week and still can't figure out how to make this work. I'm trying to get the player to throw/shoot projectiles in the 2d X-axis AND Y-Axis but for whatever reason projectiles only more in either the X or Y when i want it to move in both directions. I've tried everything I could think of. Nothing works. Anyone have any advice?

Hi.
Can you give more details :)

how are you shooting (force, velocity, other)
is direction set random / by axis / other

My basic setup is to GetPosition of the player object with a player x position float variable and the player y position variable, then GetPosition of the enemy object with an enemy x position variable, and enemy y position variable, then use FloatCompare so that the player object throws/shoots in the direction of the enem object. It works in one direction but not both.
