Hey everyone I’m making a game that is birds eye view like the old grand theft autos.

anyway im currently stuck at this… I can have my character fire and have the bullet follow my mouse but I cant seem to figure out how to just make the bullet go straight off the screen in the direction my character is facing.

thanks for the help
