help me out please!

If someone could tell me what I am doing wrong?

I scripted a projectile to shoot from my object and it does except it makes my object shift from left to right every time I shoot using the space bar.

Is there some special coding or something to keep the ship steady when firing the projectile?

Thanks for any help!

    Which engine are you using? You'll get a better response on the engine forums.

    Also, could you post your code so that we can see what is happening when you are triggering the projectile?

    Do you even have a license to an engine? (can't tell if you don't or if it's the site acting funky)

    I am using TGB 2d software demo. No engine like TGE or advanced. I am not an industry pro or something guys. Used the preset behavior mods for my projectile. Still making the object shooting them jump around from side to side?!? I will try to check the code in notepad or something maybe (10,0) or something like that is off.

    Whoa, do not use notepad. You run the risk, albeit most of the time a small one, of introducing binary garbage to the file. It's best to use one of the available TorqueScript IDE's, Torsion or Codeweaver. Both are excellent, for a third option I suggest Notepad++ which is my preference for editing xml, html, etc and for when I want to take a look at only a file or two without waiting for an IDE to load up.

    Ok, now that we have that out of the way. I do remember hitting this problem before myself, but it's been a few years since I had to deal with it. I seem to remember it had something to do with the projectile colliding with the object firing it.

    Cool, thank you Scott I appreciate the help. I will look into that, does sound like a strong possibility.
