I have a custom platform movement and when the player holds shift and presses "G", he "throws" a grenade and it bounces a few times and then blows up. My problem is.. It throws fine when he faces right (xpos + 6) but for some reason when he faces left (xpos - 6) the grenade still travels right. You'll have to see my code before you can give me a compete answer so if you think you can help, tell me and I'll DC-Mail you the URL. Thanks.

you could make the grenade face the same direction as the character.
so when when its facing left and thrown, subtract a number but when facing right and thrown add a number.
i hope you get it to work

Is the grenade a bouncing ball object? Because if it is, I run into this problem pretty often,
it might have to do with the initial direction or the order that you programmed direction condition in...What I mean is make sure you did it in the correct order like this:
Upon pressing G or whatever #1 create grenade #2 set direction to whatever, the wrong thing that I do sometimes Is: Upon pressing G # set direction to whatever #2 create the object. What I mean is make sure you put create the object first so it knows what it's directing.
Ugh, I'm sorry if this didn't make any sense.

Pyro is right, although I have denied it for as long as I can, placement of code in Conditions and Actions can make a difrence if somthing is not working. For example:
Every 1 second
If Gernade is playing animation Disapearing
Switch that to:
If Gernade is playing animation Disapearing
Every 1 second
This will make no difrence at all, but correct placement in complex and thick code, CAN solve the problem that just doesent make sense.
This also solved a problem I had with a game I was making in Qbasic.
