    Does anyone know a way in which I can make my character shoot bullets as your touching the screen? It sounds simple to do, but I can't figure it out.

    You should be able to create a 3d asset with a velocity/direction and then spawn it with a touch node on the character.

    See screenshot for the node setup on the character.

    You will need a touch node, and a spawn node. The name in the spawn node to needs to perfectly match the object/asset that you want to spawn.

    I hope this helps. If not, I can provide more clarification.

    There's already a preset in BB3 that has the Shooting/Spawn function, it's "Stuck". Now, I would say it's not perfect and I think it's a bit clunky, but it's a good place to start, so you can see what nodes are being used etc.

    Thank you sir. I did not think of it to get that spawner. It worked fine. Exported assets from that template game and import for what I working on it. Changing some stuff and thats it.
