Master chief Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 ok i need to find a way to make it so that Unit A can fire 15 or more "bullets" at unit B in some easy way and hopefully not have to have 300 bullets on the screen at once to be used when needed , or do i have a lot of work ahead of me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your objective is more of an energy bolt, streaks would work well. This will allow you to fire hundreds if not thousands of bullets (and who wouldn't want to!) while taking advantage of gravity and collisions throughout the process. As for making bullet holes, it occurs to me that you really can't see bullets making these holes and could simulate the effect with an animated decal for transparency, bump and other channels as appropriate on the object you intend to riddle. Combining the two is more of a technical dance. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
