I am attempting to make a shooting/action game. One of the things I need to know is how to get the arm with the gun to rotate around. And then when its at a certain angle to change the head to the opposite angle it was on before. Its a bit hard to explain. What I really need is something like Ultimate Down ([http://www.freeonlinegames.com/play/3179.html](http://www.freeonlinegames.com/play/3179.html)). And I need some starters on AI. Thanks in Advance =) ---

Ive come across so stuff on it but I need someone to provide me with an explanation as I got a little bit lost.

Cool. Thats what I need. I also need a like… Line? Shooting out of the gun. Instead of just clicking on the enemy its like a hitTest with the line to see if it hits the enemy. ---

Thanks Ill look at the code in a bit. The only thing is that the bullet comes out of the sleeve not the gun. But I think I can fix that.
