neway i am going to try and make a platform shooter game with u, the main character to be based on a warp spider like being (see warhammer 40k eldar) gee i feel like such a geek, sigh,  
but i want it to have jump, so i can make trenches,  
i want to try and make ur guys gun shoot where ur mouse points, and also the arms and gun should follow where you point,
