Enemy shooting

[80sboy]

Hi, I'm newbie on this.
I'm starting with a shooting game for ZX Spectrum with MPAGD.

My idea is a game where the player can shoot to other enemy sprites, and these enemies shoot ramdomly on the direction they are facing.

The first thing is easy, and I already made it, but how can I make the enemies shoot?

Where must be the code for this written?

How can I do the enemy can shoot?

Spawning a new sprite within the enemy behavior code?

Thanks in advance!!

HI , here u can found a lot of help about spawn and yes it s with spawn. using the x and y and copare with x y of enemy and using some random time u can achive that.
maybe can use others variables to check in an event or other.

The process is almost the same as with the player, you can use random or time to trigger it, the process is very similar, the best way is to try and see results to adjust it to what you want to do, in the forum there is a Method , but in the end it is better to try all the options that MPAGD has at the sprite and player level, so that you correctly understand the process and options.
