    (SOLVED)How can I make a bullet appear from the end of a gun when the gun can change angle??

    I have a system set up where you aim with the mouse but I can't figure out how to make the bullet spawn from what ever angle my gun is at. I need a way to some how check the angle the gun is so I can update the x and y potions for the bullet creation.
