ocular rewritten

I'm trying to make a game but I can't figure out how to make a projectile shoot without the projectile following the inputs of the sprite.

In the sprite for the projectile, have this script:

when I start as a clone
go to (player v)
point in direction ([direction v] of [player v])
repeat until <whatever makes the projectile get deleted>
move [whatever] steps
end
delete this clone

To add on to the above comment you will have to associate a key with the attack.
