Post Two very newbish questions...
Okay, for starters, I need to know how to adjust how accurate the bullets from a machine gun are. By which I mean, how do you make it less accurate?

Secondly, I can't figure out how to change the locations where the bullets come out. The Muzzle flash is in the correct place, but the bullets are coming out too high on the sprite.
How do you change that? I've tried fiddling with the Muzzle and Ejection Offsets, but neither of them affect the bullets themselves.

Thanks in advance.

I'm pretty sure you mess with ShakeRange or something to that effect for accuracy.

Oh... Haven't tried that yet. Guess I should have :\
Thanks.
EDIT: Congrats on your 100th post!

Actually accuracy would be the "ParticleSpreadRange = #" varable. It's in degrees (360 would shoot in a complete circle), with the middle of the arc pointed forward (so 90 would be 45 degrees up and 45 degrees down).

Also, the MuzzleOffset does exactly change where the bullets are from, not sure where the issue there is.

Code:
   MuzzleOffset = Vector
      X = #
      Y = #

Weird. Well, thanks for the help. I'll try fiddling with the Muzzle offset... It seems to change the location of the Muzzle Flash though :\
EDIT: Oh, I just had to change the offsets in the Actual Muzzle Flash code itself...
Thanks for your help everyone.

I think you moved the flash to the right point before moving the offset, right? The offset effects both the bullets and the flash, so you should move the bullets to the right place first.
