does anyone know why the game would only shoot one bullet when my shooting system is the same as evil mana's system

[dtothabreezy]

there maybe a code stoping it in the halo game he could only shoot 5 bulletts at a time and they didnt come out right add something likke if bullet<1 in to one of the bullet functions perferably the one that controlls the bullet

[yaustar]

No code = no idea.
Show the code for firing.

[dtothabreezy]

hes yousing evil manas bullet code ill look in to it

i think it yousing all of the bullets to fast

[ninja9393]

here is all my shooting code takin from my script
KEEP IN MIND THIS IS ONLY THE SHOOTING STUFF

function bulletSetup()
--Increase the current bullet by one, or reset it to 1
if currentBullet < 5 then
currentBullet = currentBullet + 1
else
currentBullet = 1
end


BulletInfo[currentBullet].direction = direction
BulletInfo[currentBullet].firing = true
end

function bulletFire()
for i = 1,5 do
if BulletInfo[i].firing == true then
if BulletInfo[i].direction == "right" then BulletInfo[i].x = BulletInfo[i].x + 10 end
if BulletInfo[i].direction == "left" then BulletInfo[i].x = BulletInfo[i].x - 10 end
screen:blit(BulletInfo[i].x,BulletInfo[i].y,BulletInfo[i].pic)
end
if BulletInfo[i].x < 0 or BulletInfo[i].x > 480 or BulletInfo[i].y < 0 or BulletInfo[i].y > 272 then
BulletInfo[i].firing = false
end
end
end

--Create Array for Bullets
BulletInfo = {}
for a = 1,5 do
BulletInfo[a] = { pic = bullet , firing = false, direction = "right", x = player.x + 32,
y = player.y + 25 }
end

if direction == "left" then
bullet = bullet1
end

if direction == "right" then
bullet = bullet
end

currentBullet = 0

bulletFire()

if pad:square() and oldpad:square() ~= pad:square() then
bulletSetup()
end

if direction == "right" then
bullet = bullet
end

[yaustar]

if direction == "left" then
bullet = bullet1
end

if direction == "right" then
bullet = bullet
end

and

if direction == "right" then
bullet = bullet
end

Are very wrong. Why do you want something to equal itself?

currentBullet = 0

should be 1.

BulletInfo[currentBullet].direction = direction
BulletInfo[currentBullet].firing = true
end

Why is the firing code in the middle of no where in the program?

[ninja9393]

it still only shoots once

[yaustar]

I say it be a 'flow of logic' problem. You might not be calling functions in the right order or in the right place. I ideally need the whole code to fix that.

[dtothabreezy]

do u want it to shoot 5 i dont remeber samus shooting more than 1 well except for littel ones you should put a thing in to stop quick shotting such as old pad and then allow any number of bullets are you going to make the charging bullet i could help wit that gettin so board of working on mine hope fully it will be ready before school becuz right now i got football 5 to 9 during school i wont have any time to do any thing till about 8:30 not including home work what was i talkin about agian
