Hey All,

Used Dale Coops platform projectile tutorial and got things
Crack on that end. My problem is my projectile has an Arc to it. How do I adjust the x,y values to make it go straight .
I'm using the scrolling platformer in 4.1.5 with the scrolling off and I'm using the adventure a_Creates_projectile script. I have spent time look at the script and trying to adjust different lines to no avail

Any help would be great thank you
I look forwards to see all the games created!

Is your projectile object set to ignore gravity (action step 0)?
And to adjust the X,Y offset (origin of creation), you need to select "Game Objects" on the NESMaker hierarchy (tree view) :

I have to have it set this high or it shoots straight in to the floor. If I use ignore gravity it doesn't move

If your "ignore gravity" objects don't move, there is a fix for that:
