I have movement code and the player points at the mouse. But I don't know how to make bullets shoot out of the player.

What are you struggling with? Actually spawning the bullets?
primal junco
You’ll need a preload variable in your player scene. This is a reference to the bullet
var bullet_scene = preload(PATH TO BULLET SCENE)
then you can create a new function, maybe call it shoot_bullet()
In that function you have to instantiate the bullet scene and add it to the world.
get_parent().add_child(instance)
instance.global_position = global_position
instance.look_at(get_global_mouse_position) ```This will spawn the bullet where the player is and make the bullet look at the mouse

it gave me this error

oh

What about shooting

What about shooting
Call the function you just wrote every time you want to spawn a bullet

No I mean like how does the bullet shoot

You have to make the bullet move the same way you made the player move

No I mean like how does the bullet shoot
Right now you have no code in your bullet scene right?
primal junco
You’d need some movement code for the bullet then

How experienced are you with godot?
The bullet doesn’t have to do more than go in a straight line
Global_position += global_transform.x * delta * 100 for example should work
