firing bullets [ c++ ]

[cassius]

I got my gun animations working after a long session but now I need to know how to fire bullets and check they have hit the target?

Should I use bullets visibly moving or fake it in some way.

The gun fires 6 single shots.

Personally I'd just use raycasting (Pick) at the time of firing to see if it collided with anything.

That would be World pick I imagine?

If it's a FPS then camera pick out the center of the screen. If it's like a top down then world pick from the gun outward.

its fps. Thanks
