Legacy GM [SOLVED]Shooting from tip/barrel of gun

[mateus souza]

hello, I'm doing a top down project, however no matter what I do the bullet keeps coming out of the gun barrel, could anyone help me? I'm learning to use the game maker yet and I do not know some basic things.

my sprite = x=128 y= 85
origin = x=40 y=49
gun tip = x=119 y=62

global mouse left button =

if (!fire){
fire = true
alarm[0] = cooldown;
instance_create(x+lengthdir_x(77,image_angle),y+lengthdir_y(77,image_angle),obj_bullet);
}

Sounds about right, unless that's not what you want, in which case you should probably tell what you want it to do instead.

3rd image: Oh wow, turns out it isn't coming from the barrel, seems more like from the center of the player sprite.

Perhaps some clarifications on what you want exactly might help others help you?

Anyways, for now I'll assume you want your bullets to come out from the barrel. If that's the case, try finding the coordinates of the barrel relative to the origins from the sprite editor, and use those coordinates to create your bullets (relative to the player as well of course).

Hope I helped

By chance, I happened to just be posting this diagram in another thread, but it will help you out as well:

I need the shot to come out of the gun barrel but I can not do it, I tried to use the diagram but I can not understand it, I tried it in several ways but it still did not work. ,

Your code is fine, just offset the image_angle by a few degrees, eg:

var_x = x + lengthdir_x(77, image_angle - 10);
var_y = y + lengthdir_y(77, image_angle - 10);
instance_create(_x, _y, obj_Bullet);

If that's not correct, just change the "10" value for 8, or 15 or whatever works.
