  You'll need to provide more information. Is this a side-scroller where the player flips horizontally? Is it an asteroids-type game where the player rotates from side to side?

  You can make 2 boolean attributes and call them left and right. Have a rule that say when left button is pressed change left attribute to true and spawn bullet. In your bullet actor have a rule that checks if left attribute is true, if so, fire to the left. Do the same for the right side.
  
  Hope that helps. I am new to Gamesalad so I could be wrong, but I think it will work.

  In my latest game, I have two different bullets - one for shooting left, one for shooting right.
  
  Was the easiest way I could think of when I started the game 2 years ago - there may be better ways of doing it now!

  @tatiang‌ , it´s "a side-scroller where the player flips horizontally".

  Follow @umei's advice. You'll need something like that to flip your actor's image any way, so why not use it for shooting bullets, too?

  I am sorry... I will update my problem:

  • If the actor is looking to left (after touch left key, flip horizontal), than i touch space and the bullet goes to that direction (left). And of course, the same thing when the actor is turned to the right.

  Best regards.
