Hi,

i want my charackter to shoot up or down (45degree) when i press ctrl+up/down.

This works great while he is facing the right side. But if i turn him he shoots behind him self... How can i check what hes facing and then tell him to shoot to this direction + 45 degrees up/down.

Assuming basic platform behavior, I'd do it something like so:

+ MouseKeyboard: On key Control pressed
-> Charakter: Spawn object Ammo on layer 1 (image point 1)
    + MouseKeyboard: Key Down arrow is down
    -> Ammo: Rotate 45 degrees toward (Charakter.X, Charakter.Y + 100)
    -> Ammo: Set angle to Charakter.Angle + (Charakter.Angle = 0? 45 : -45)
    + System: Else
    + MouseKeyboard: Key Up arrow is down
    -> Ammo: Rotate 45 degrees toward (Charakter.X, Charakter.Y - 100)
    -> Ammo: Set angle to Charakter.Angle + (Charakter.Angle = 0? -45 : 45)[/code:fcer37nn]

I used two different methods to set the angle there, but one is toggled off. The first just rotates the bullet 45 degrees toward a point above or below the character, and the second uses a [url=http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/construct/index.php?title=Expressions]conditional expression[/url] to set the angle either + or - 45 degrees from the character's angle.

Here's the simple .cap file (v0.99.96) if the above is not clear:
