Hi,

I'm building a platformer, and have controls in to move, jump, take damage, but when i added in a shoot, the game goes all jittery when i press to shoot in preview. Once I have pressed to shoot, it carries on even when the player is not moving. Here's a video to show the issue:

Is this a bug with the preview, or something in the code?

Here's a screenshot of the shooting controls, which I got from a template that does work correctly: https://www.dropbox.com/s/piyvo28cve9uf9p/Screen Shot 2016-08-30 at 10.53.52.png?dl=0

Edit: Also when it starts going jittery, it doesn't shoot at all

    Try changing 'in back of actor' to one of the other options.

    Hi, I have tried all 4 options and it's always the same.

    I have an interpolate on the bullets to fade them out when they are over 200 px from the player, and when i turned these off the jittering stopped, but then it started shooting when the movement arrows were pressed instead and the player carries on moving when nothing is pressed.

    Looking at your video, I have the sneaky feeling that you have a "control camera" behavior in your bullet actor, or that the values, controlling the camera offset, are being overwritten in the bullet actor.
