hi, i am creating a vertical shooter adaptation.

i am trying to create the enemy units to fire in a direction at the main unit.

The problem is that the bullet follows the main unit instead of moving in a straight direction where the unit used to stand.

I am using timers for creating the animation and i have tried changing the rotation of the bullets. I have got it to rotate in the direction i want it to but it doesnt move there.

i am also trying out this temp object thing where an object is left at the main units last location and the bullet travels to that location. its not working yet but i am going to give it another try.
