      This would be cool with motion controls. Even if they are a bit screwy.

        @DaddyJDM nothing is going off screen as the reticle is where you fire, iv tried a manner of things but i guess this is the best route before getting further into the build.
        hoping to have miss fires reduce round times.

          Aren’t you already doing a collision check for when they make a hit, and destroying the target sprite? If they press fire and the result isn’t destroying the sprite that’s a miss.

            @Jongjungbu how would i track a non collision apart from the way im trying.
            i tried true/false switch but maybe i laid out the code wrong im not over invested in which way i do it so what ever seems best

              So how are you tracking a hit? Do you check if the crosshair collides with the target sprite or are you actually "firing" a bullet sprite?

                @Bl4ckM4ch1n3 the collision occurs when sprites detect each other and c.zr all in a "for loop"
                then outside of that i just have the if c.zr statement setup for non collisions, no bullet sprite

                  So you are using the detectSpriteCollision() function?
                  You could wait for c.zr and then check for a collision between the crosshair and the target. If the result is negative, thats a miss.

                    @Bl4ckM4ch1n3 yeah im using the detectSpriteCollision() function, just not 100% sure how i can code that.
                    Currently iv bodged 2 offscreen sprites so when i press zr iv setspritespeed to then collide with the other which triggers the miss, if target hit iv done setspritelocation and speed 0 seems to work but bit to messy to track through out the build

                      I think you need to change the order a bit. First check for c.zr. If that's pressed check for the spirit collision. If they collide you've got a hit if not you've got a miss. And you don't check for the collision at all if the player isn't firing.

                        @waldron then try the method I've provided in my last post:

                        @Bl4ckM4ch1n3 said in Fuze shoot wip:

                        You could wait for c.zr and then check for a collision between the crosshair and the target. If the result is negative, thats a miss.

                        It's basically the same method as the one that @Richard has mentioned.

                        The following is not 100% accurate, since I haven't used F4NS in a while. But it should work this way:

                        if c.zr then
                            for i = 0 to len(targetArray) loop 
                                result = detectSpriteCollision(crosshair, targetX)
                                if result == true then
                                    thats a hit!
                                else
                                    thats a miss!
                            repeat

                          @Bl4ckM4ch1n3 I re-read you post after I'd posted mine and thought I could have just said I agree with you.

                            @Bl4ckM4ch1n3 cheers il have to have another go at it later the button press and collision seem instantaneous il swap round some bits see if i can get a collision order sorted, as a fail safe i could just have a sprite over the screen with roundtime -= 5 and if target hit roundtime += 5 to cancel the miss fire.
                            seems like such a simple thing to do until you start trying to code it, for me anyway :)

                              i could just do away with misfires altogether but would be nice to track players accuracy either way il get it sorted and thankyou for your time

                                @waldron look at my last post again, I've provided some example-code. You can track the accuracy that way too!
                                Just increase a counter for every shot fired and a second counter for every hit. Then you'll be able to calculate the shot/hit-ratio.
                                You could even calculate the distance between the center of the crosshair and the center of the target-sprite to give different points:
                                Like +5 if you hit the center of the target and +1 if you hit it near the border.

                                  @Bl4ckM4ch1n3 excellent thank you i'l try this,yeah plan on using counters also for score. i like the idea of the extra score on accuracy i could put in the detect code if crosshair.x <= 5 ....
                                  il give it a blast later cheers

                                      Start with @Bl4ckM4ch1n3 's code, but define a variable before the loop, say countHits.
                                      Then, inside your loop through the targets, add 1 to countHits if the shot hits the target.

                                      After the loop, check countHits - if it is zero, you know you have missed all targets.

                                      Is that helpful to try?

                                          some updates added in more targets, pterodactyl takes 5 hits to take down
                                          exploding ducks.
                                          since the video iv added in Title text which has a random colour on each play as well as the cross hair.
