Need some help with shooting

Sparrow

Hi All

I have a shoot function and a super shoot function, the idea is shoot normally until a bar is full and the shoot 6 bullets at once. basically I get LAG... I think it's the in range or the way I'm adding them like they are single bullet and not a collection (i don't know how to do collections yet in GODOT).

Anyone that can help will be thanked most vigorously, no but seriously it would help along since I'm mid jam.

func shoot():
	var b = Bullet.instance()
	b.start($Gun.global_position, rotation)
	get_parent().add_child(b)

func super_shoot():
	for i in range(6):
		var b = Bullet.instance()
		b.start($Gun.global_position, rotation + i)
		get_parent().add_child(b)

Most people, when they write code that creates an object. will do something like this to start.

var bullet = preload("res://mybulletscene").instance()

According to the docs. preloading a scene file is generally faster than loading it in real-time.

Thanks Ace Dragon.

I set the Bullets as a PackedScene and i think the bullets where colliding with each other causing it to look laggy.

export (PackedScene) var Bullet

Should bullets be able to collide with each other? In most games, this isn't the case.
