Problems with intertia

i think i remember reading somewhere that GS as it stands has a little trouble with true physics.

need help fixing the problems

basically i touch a spot and the gun fires a bullet at that spot. unfortunately when i touch again the bullets that were still "in the air" curve to the new spot. drives me nuts. i need them to fly in the direction they were fired once they are fired. can this be done?

    You're gonna want to change a self attributes in the bullet to the current touch position, then never have that change, so you can have the bullets keep going to that spot.

    Okay... right now you have a global attribute set up for where the bullets go to.

    Each time you make a new bullet the global target changes.

    Therfore the old bullets will go to the newer target instead of their original target.

    You need to setup an actor attribute that can keep track of the target.

    That way each individual bullet can have a different target.

    Make sense?

    nevermind got it, but it stops at the position. progress has been made. any idea on how to make it continue? wait, what if i find a way to make it move backwards from that point once its gotten to that point?

    Use vector to angle between its starting position, and the click, then make it accelerate in that direction by changing a self attribute to that angle.

    It's not an issue with GS, it's an issue with your game's logic.

    See my demo:
