Hello, i am building a 3D TieFighter game, and i have recently added lasers too it. However, in my game, when you move the mouse, the tie fighter rotates acording to how far the mouse is from the centreof the screen. to get an idea, here is a screenshot: My problem is that when the tie fighter rotates, the bullets follow it, like there was a big pole stuck out the front of it. also, here is my code:

int DrawGLScene(GLvoid)									// Here's Where We Do All The Drawing

{   
    POINT pt;
    GetCursorPos(&pt);
    GLfloat tiery = (float)(400 - pt.x)/35;
    GLfloat tierx = (float)(300 - pt.y)/35;
    crossx = (float)(pt.x/800);
    crossy = (float)(pt.y/800);
	glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT);	// Clear Screen And Depth Buffer											// Done Drawing The Triangle

    
    glLoadIdentity();
    glTranslatef(0, -0.3, tiez);
    glRotatef(tiery,0,1,0);
    glRotatef(tierx,1,0,0);
    TieFighter();
    glBegin(GL_TRIANGLES);
    glColor3f(1,0,0);
    glNormal3f(0.0f,0.0f,0.0f);
    glVertex3f(crossx,crossy,-6);
    glVertex3f(crossx-0.03,crossy-0.03,-6);
    glVertex3f(crossx+0.03,crossy-0.03,-6);
    glColor3f(1,1,1);
    glEnd();
    glPushMatrix();
    glTranslatef(-0.1, 0, -0.01);
    DrawParticles(TexID[1],1.0f,1.0f,1.0f,50.0,0.03);
    glTranslatef(0.2, 0, 0);
    DrawParticles(TexID[1],1.0f,1.0f,1.0f,50.0,0.03);
    glPopMatrix();
    glPushMatrix();
    glLoadIdentity();
    DrawRadar();
    glPopMatrix();
            //                   //                //

    gluLookAt(g_Camera.m_vPosition.x, g_Camera.m_vPosition.y, g_Camera.m_vPosition.z,	
			  g_Camera.m_vView.x,	  g_Camera.m_vView.y,     g_Camera.m_vView.z,	
			  g_Camera.m_vUpVector.x, g_Camera.m_vUpVector.y, g_Camera.m_vUpVector.z); 	  
   	
    glLightfv(GL_LIGHT1, GL_POSITION,LightPosition);

   	glEnable(GL_LIGHT1);
    
    glPushMatrix();
    glTranslatef(0.0f,-30.0f,-20.0f);
    glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, TexID[0]);

   glBegin(GL_QUADS);
        glNormal3f(0.0f,1.0f,0.0f);
        glTexCoord2f(0.0f, 2.0f);glVertex3f(-100.0f,0.0f,-100.0f);
        glTexCoord2f(2.0f, 2.0f);glVertex3f(100.0f,0.0f,-100.0f);
        glTexCoord2f(2.0f, 0.0f);glVertex3f(100.0f,0.0f,100.0f);
        glTexCoord2f(0.0f, 0.0f);glVertex3f(-100.0f,0.0f,100.0f);
 	glEnd();
 	glTranslatef(0.0f,10.0f,0.0f);
 	DrawGrid(10,10);

    glPopMatrix();
    
    float rdia=0.0f;
    glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, TexID[2]);
   	glEnable(GL_TEXTURE_GEN_S);
	glEnable(GL_TEXTURE_GEN_T);
	glTranslatef(rdia,-20,0);
    gluSphere(quadratic,2.0f,32,32);
   	glDisable(GL_TEXTURE_GEN_S);
	glDisable(GL_TEXTURE_GEN_T);
    
	return TRUE;										// Everything Went OK

}

And my particle system code:

    particle[loop].life=life;
    particle[loop].fade=float(rand()%100)/10000.0f+0.003f;
    
    particle[loop].xi=((rand()%50)-spreadx)*sizex;

    particle[loop].zg=0.0f;
}
}
void DrawParticles(unsigned int texture,float r,float g,float b,float slowdown,float size)
{

//Bind the particle texture

glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D,texture);

//Asign values to particles


for (loop=0;loop<MAX_PARTICLES;loop++)
	{
	if (particle[loop].active)

        glEnable(GL_BLEND);

	    glBegin(GL_TRIANGLE_STRIP);
	    glNormal3f(0.0f,0.0f,1.0f);

thx for any help, and sorry for this post being so massive. EDIT: Damit, y wont my pic link.
