I've been fiddling around with it some more and still can't find a solution. Could anyone please help me with this? I'm stuck on this and I really need to find a way to make it work.

I just can't make the bullets stop coming from left or right instead of up and down. I was also wondering if it was possible to make two streams of bullets come out instead of one and change the location of the streams depending on which direction you're facing?

Sorry to bump up a somewhat older topic.

I'm editing this example so it can be the base of my games shooting mechanics, but I'm running into some trouble editing it. Unlike the example, I have four sprite directions, right, left, up and down. It will shoot for right and left, but not for up and down. I've added two extra parts into the spreaded shooting script, but am not sure how I should set them up. Also, the shotgun still works for left and right, but the machinegun doesn't anymore. I'm not sure what I changed in order to make it stop working.

leftsprite=argument0; //the left facing sprite

if (sprite_index==s_character_right)//we facing right?
	{
	//shoots the bullets to the right of us
	for (a=0; a!=bulletamount; a+=1;)
		ID[a] = instance_create(x+xcreate,ycreate,bullet);
	} 
if (sprite_index==s_character_left)//we facing left?
	{
	//shoots it to the left
	for (a=0; a!=bulletamount; a+=1;)
		ID[a] = instance_create(x-xcreate,ycreate,bullet); 
	}
	
	if (sprite_index==s_character_up)//we facing up?
	{
	//shoots it upwards
	for (a=0; a!=bulletamount; a+=1;)
		ID[a] = instance_create(xcreate,y+ycreate,bullet); 
	}
	
	if (sprite_index==s_character_down)//we facing down?
	{
	//shoots it downwards
	for (a=0; a!=bulletamount; a+=1;)
		ID[a] = instance_create(xcreate,y-ycreate,bullet); 
	}

//Set the MOTION for the bullets//
for (a=0; a!=bulletamount; a+=1;)
	{
	with (ID[a])
		motion_set(point_direction(x,y,targetx,targety)+choose(random(spreadability),random(-spreadability)),shotspeed); 
	}
with (bullet)
	image_index=direction/10; //faces it to it's direction
	
//NOTE: To set target x/y spreadability, and shotspeed go to the bullet object's create event.

This is my current spread shot script. It's probably easier for you if I upload what I have so far, so I'll do that now.

EDIT:

I've uploaded the game

Thanks, that clears a lot up!

I'm going to try to make this all function in my game and if I have any qeustions I'll know where to find you  

Thanks again

I'll be sure to use that menumaker as well

I really need help on this one, so I'm afraid I have to bump it once more..

Bump for great justice
