GML, Parte dos

Ok I have asked quite a couple of people this question and I want reassurance from the one place that isn't gonig to ignore my topic like the ****ing GMC.

Ok I have a these sprites right?( Samus Ones to be exact. ) and I want to Implement Shooting. I however, don't want to the bullets she shoots to come out of her head or stomach. I want them to come out of her beam. The thing is She doesn't face two directions, she faces four. I want to know how you can make the bullets come out of a certain spot on the sprite, and how I could make these bullets go into the direction samus would be facing (if up then up, down then down, you get the idea.) If variables are needed, I am using: global.l for left global.r for right global.f for down and global.b for up. (global because samus uses them too.) besaically all of what I said would go into the shoot event of samus (keypad 1) and the creation event of power_beam. What Kind of techniques and coding could i use to pull this off?(Just Give me an Example of the front shooting Sprite)
Origin of Samus' Forward Shot Sprite is: X12 Y16 (Center origin).
Place I want the bullet to exit:X6 Y25

In the code for the shot vent am i supposed to Make the X and Y values relative to the origin by subtraction and addition? If not then how?
Thank you for your help.

if dir=1 //facing right
{
instance_create(x+4,y+8)
}

if dir=2 //facing up right
{
instance_create(x+4,y-8)
}

if dir=3 //facing up left
{
instance_create(x-4,y-8)
}

if dir=4 //facing left
{
instance_create(x-4,y+8)
}

umm are you sure that would work? because you didn't name an instance in anypart of that code?

ya, but you can add the bullet to create.. cant you? I was just giving the x and y pos...

Oh ok thanks I though it was the complete thing thanks man I won't forget this!

NP, actually, I did forget to add the code for what to create, so, my bad... but your welcome...
