:slight_smile: Thank u!!! That was one of the things i wanted but in the matrix, when the bullet comes out of the gun and rotates in slow motion;how do u do that???

If you want true 3d rotation then you will need to use a 3D program. But there is a cheeky way of rotating the bullet. Create a rectangle then gradient fill the colour with a varying shade of gold or sivler colour, whatever colour you want your bullet to be. Make this rectangle about 4 times the height of your bullet. Now create another layer and draw a bullet shape. Make that layer a maks layer. You should see your gradient fill in the bullet shape. All that remains it to tween the rectangle down so that it looks like its spinning.

You’ve inspired me to make a fla, i’ll post here when i do.

You can’t :eye: Let’s say you can’t do anything else than stickmen if you’re going to do that…

Heres my rotating bullet, you’ll get the idea, just take more time over it.

I also gave it a go. Its not very good, but I’ve attempted to get the bullet to spin and have the smokey stuff behind it. Tell us what ya think :slight_smile:

i cant see the bullet spin…

That was sick dude!!! Thanks so much!!!:thumb:

Not a problem. I can use that now in an animation I’m making.

Skinny T: I could only see a grey bullet, not rotating, with the smoky thing moving fromt left to right.

Valay5: Your welcome.

Oh really, I’ll have another look at it and see what I can do

okay

I saw the effect you wanted somewhere but I can’t remember where … Maybe it was actionscript.org, I don’t know …

Heres a different version of Skinny’s (hope you don’t mind that I played with it) that is a little easier to move around. The rings will follow the bullet instead of using tweens. So move the bullet wherever, it won’t matter

[edit] code changed to be less crappy [/edit]

Not bad, not bad at all. I’m no good at actionscripting so thats why I did it the way I did. But that was pretty good. The only prob. was that the bullet slowly went down, other than that its excellent. If anyone thinks that they can inprove on it give it a go!
