    How can I make the character shoot where i tap on the screen? Trying to make a 2D top down view shooter, but the char only shoots in front of him and I want it to stay in one place and shoot in different directions across the screen.

    Thanks in advance

    I'm not sure that this can be done in buildbox... Not yet anyway

    Thats not your only problem with a top down shooter. You dont get points for the kill either.
    Free advice: See what BB can do and come up with a game that is in the wheelhouse of BB - and reduce your stress :)

    I love and totally agreed with this. Just build and have fun with it. Hehe... I was too serious to look for functions to build my concept. Now it is more I change my mindset while take down the ideas I wanted to do and KIV until BB team make new features. :)

    Good thing is of course they will be adding stuff as updates come in. I can picture in 6 months to a year BB will allow for cutsenes, more direct puzzle game design, kill count, story editor, maybe multiplayer. Will be exciting year for sure. I just wanna be able to do puzzle games like candy crush...match 3 etc. Combined with my art skills...man...i could make some way cool games lol.
