Hello,

I can't get a bullet to shoot. When I hit the key, nothing happens. I've posted my code. It compiles fine, but nothing happens when I press the space key, which is supposed to fire the bullet.

sf::RenderWindow GameWin;
sf::Event event;

struct PLAYER
{
	sf::RectangleShape shape;
	sf::Vector2f Pos;

	float X, Y;
};

struct BULLET
{
	sf::CircleShape shape;
	sf::Vector2f Pos, Vel;

	float X, Y;
	float Speed;
	bool Visible;
};

PLAYER player;
BULLET bullet;

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
	GameWin.create(sf::VideoMode(800, 600, 32), "");

	player.X = 800 / 2;
	player.Y = 600 / 2;
	player.Pos = sf::Vector2f(player.X, player.Y);
	player.shape.setPosition(sf::Vector2f(player.Pos));
	player.shape.setSize(sf::Vector2f(30, 30));
	player.shape.setFillColor(sf::Color(0, 255, 0));

	bullet.X = player.X;
	bullet.Y = player.Y;
	bullet.Visible = false;
	bullet.Speed = 0.0f;
	bullet.Pos = sf::Vector2f(bullet.X, bullet.Y);
	bullet.shape.setPosition(sf::Vector2f(bullet.Pos));
	bullet.shape.setScale(sf::Vector2f(10, 10));
	bullet.shape.setFillColor(sf::Color(255, 0, 0));

	while (GameWin.isOpen())
	{
		while (GameWin.pollEvent(event))
		{
			if (event.type == sf::Event::Closed)
			{
				GameWin.close();
			}

			if (sf::Keyboard::isKeyPressed(sf::Keyboard::Space))
			{
				bullet.Visible = true;
				bullet.Speed = 10.0f;
			}
		}

		GameWin.clear();

		GameWin.draw(player.shape);

		if (bullet.Visible)
		{
			GameWin.draw(bullet.shape);
			bullet.shape.move(bullet.Speed, 0);

			if (bullet.X >= 800)
			{
				bullet.Visible = false;
			}
		}

		GameWin.display();
	}

	return 0;
}

OK I figured out the first part of my problem. I had setScale, what I needed was setRadius in order for the bullet shape to appear. However when I run the debugger on the if visible statement, it says it is still false, despite pressing the space key, which is supposed to set it to true.

EDIT: Ok I got it. I set the value to true in the debugger and it fixed it. Now I can fire the bullet and it shows when I hit the space key. It didn't seem like there was a bug in the code, but guess there was. Now to work on making it so I can fire multiple bullets.

	bullet.X = player.X;
	bullet.Y = player.Y;
	bullet.Visible = false;
	bullet.Speed = 0.0f;
	bullet.shape.setPosition(sf::Vector2f(bullet.X,bullet.Y));
	bullet.shape.setRadius(10);
	bullet.shape.setFillColor(sf::Color(255, 0, 0));

OK, so now I am trying to add more bullets, or make it where you can fire more than one bullet. However whenever I hit the space key, it makes a bullet appear one after the other. It doesn't move to the right of the screen like it did, when there was just one bullet.

EDIT: I figured it out. I had to change this line of code

bullet.shape.move(bullets[i].Speed, 0);

//Needed to be this
bullets[i].shape.move(bullets[i].Speed,0);

vector <BULLET> bullets;

bullet.X = player.X;
	bullet.Y = player.Y;
	bullet.Visible = false;
	bullet.Speed = 0.0f;
	bullet.shape.setPosition(sf::Vector2f(bullet.X,bullet.Y ));
	bullet.shape.setRadius(10);
	bullet.shape.setFillColor(sf::Color(255, 0, 0));

while (GameWin.isOpen())
	{
		while (GameWin.pollEvent(event))
		{
			if (event.type == sf::Event::Closed)
			{
				GameWin.close();
			}

			if (sf::Keyboard::isKeyPressed(sf::Keyboard::Space))
			{
				bullet.Visible = true;
				bullet.Speed = 0.010f;

				bullets.push_back(bullet);
			}
  }

		GameWin.clear();

		GameWin.draw(player.shape);

		if (bullet.Visible)
		{
		
			for (int i = 0; i < bullets.size(); i++)
			{

				GameWin.draw(bullets[i].shape);
				bullet.shape.move(bullets[i].Speed, 0);

				if (bullets[i].shape.getPosition().x >= 800)
				{
					bullets[i].Visible = false;
					bullets[i].Speed = 0.0f;
				}
			
			}
		}

		GameWin.display();
	}
