Create a player object, and a bullet object.

In the Player's create event

CODE

canfire = true
isleft = false
// the rest of your stuff

Create a "press a key" event. Choose whatever key you want to press to shoot.

In that event

CODE

if canfire = true
{
instance_create(x?, y?, bullet)
canfire = false
alarm[0] = 10

In the Players Alarm 0 event

CODE

canfire = true

Whoops, you never specified if the gun is in the sprite of the character...That's what this is for. If you have the gun as a seperate object it shouldn't be too much different. Also, you never said if it was a topdown shooting, fps, or platform shooting. This is for platform or topdown..Sorry

EDIT: @Above: Built-in alarms are really really really really bad.
Step Event:

CODE

if keyboard_check(vk_shootkey) then
{
instance_create(gunx,guny,obj_bullet);
}

Change "gunx" and "guny" whenever you move.

Bullet Create Event:

CODE

dir=obj_player.dirvar;
pos=0;

Bullet Step Event:

CODE

pos+=4;
x=view_xview+pos;
if pos>view_wview then instance_destroy();

Works best at 60 FPS.

They always work for me...
@Clearness, you should just try the different ways in this topic and see which one works better for you.

I understand this all but gunx and guny. What exactly am I suppose to put here?

Oh and thanks.

this isn't nessecarly a bad thing, cause if it didn't my attack system in Gmugen would never work

on topic, gunx and guny is where the gun is at, you'll have to define these, to tell you how to do this I'd have to know what kind of shooter your're making
