Player velocity added to bullet velocity?

Whiningfields

Hi there. I have a player that spawns bullets in front of it, so when the player moves fast it gets hit by it's own bullet.

How do I make the bullet instance at player velocity + bullet speed (so the player can't catch it's own bullet)? Player is a RigidBody2D that has position 2d as muzzle

From the miuzzle script:

extends Position2D
func shoot():
	if can_shoot == false:
		return false
	if can_shoot == true:
		var bullet = Bullet.instance()
		bullet.global_position = global_position
		bullet.global_rotation = global_rotation 
		bullet.set_as_toplevel(true)
		add_child(bullet)

From bullet script:

extends KinematicBody2D #BULLET

export (int) var bullet_speed 

func _physics_process(delta):
	var velocity = Vector2 (0, bullet_speed).rotated (global_rotation)
	global_position +=  velocity * delta

Any help appreciated - and specifics even more. Thanks!

I would change the bullet script to the following:

extends KinematicBody2D
var total_velocity = Vector2.ZERO
var starting_velocity = Vector2.ZERO
export (int) var bullet_speed

func _physics_process(delta):
	total_velocity = starting_velocity + Vector2(0, bullet_speed).rotated(global_rotation)
	global_position += velocity * delta

And then in the script that spawns the bullet, get the player's velocity and set it to the starting_velocity of the bullet. Something like:

bullet.starting_velocity = player.velocity

Thanks Twisted!

The muzzle is used across two players and some enemies so my question is how to get the script to look up the parent node name/velocity - for the 'player.velocity' so I don't have to maintain different muzzles for each.

@TwistedTwigleg said: bullet.starting_velocity = player.velocity

Thanks again
