melee attacks...

i'm a noob (obviously) and i saw EriErin's sword ship-thing. This made me wonder if there is actually a way to make a section have an attack? or is it just a really short range weapon?

I think it was a short range weapon that had a quick firing time (like Gat pulses and such), and set the bullet sprites to invisible. I'm working on a "mousetrap" ship atm, so I'll see if my prediction works.

okay thats what i thought, i have tried that using gat pulses and a black coloring for the bullets but i had a hard time getting the range just right

Use a beamer, they are better, and that's what Eri used.

You don't need an invisible sprite just set color to black and it'll make it invisible.
