Okay I just need to know how to walk with a gun on the first person example? If there is any way of telling me on this thread I will jump up and down with joy. I know how to make the gun I just need to know how to walk around and shoot with it. Please help.

Does the first person example track in the editor not help?

the first person example just gives me the first person view, i need to figure out how to view first person view with a gun like Call Of Duty.

You just need to figure out a way to put an object that can expel projectiles in front of your camera. Sit down, think it out, try some stuff in the editor and you'll eventually get it. Best of all, when you do, the satisfaction will be all yours.

Also, though I could be wrong, I really thought the first person example had a gun of some sort?

make a gun & glue it to the camera (this only allows 1 weapon) or OPE it to the camera. You will have to make adjustments to the co-ordinates with a 2 input operator if you are going for the ope method, unless you use a dummy (glued to camera).

Note that the FPS example has a few overlooked problems such as being able to scale any wall no matter how high with the jump button, jumping force direction relative to where the player is looking, Jumping force effects every dynamic object not just the game character, look sensitivity very low, camera interpolation low and a couple more. All can be fixed easily though if you know where to look.

Thank you guys for responding I didn't think of gluing it to the camera or using a dummy. I was trying everything but that. Also i'm trying to make anything come out of the gun, I just want to put a small explosion just to make it look like it.

Then glue an effect to the end of the gun, making a decent FPS is very challenging good luck.

I'll try my best. I probably wont succeed but I'll defiantly try. I'm going to try tomorrow.
