Hello! First off, I got this problem. I am currently using a drawLine to create a "laser". I have an "anchor-point" set up in the middle of my character (at the moment a box). Whenever I click, it shoots and when I release it goes back to the middle. However, if I move, it still points to my previous location from when I released the button. Here's the code:
This was intended as a stop-gap to see if I could fix it.

| public void Shooting() {
while (!SHOT) {
xLaserDest = xLaserAnchor;
yLaserDest = yLaserAnchor;
}
while (SHOT) {
xLaserDest = xCoordinate;
yLaserDest = yCoordinate;
}
} |

@Override
public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e) {
int xCoordinate = e.getX();
int yCoordinate = e.getY();
xMouse = xCoordinate;
yMouse = yCoordinate;
xLaserDest = xMouse;
yLaserDest = yMouse;
SHOT = true;
}
@Override
public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent e) {
xLaserDest = xChar + 16;
yLaserDest = yChar + 16;
SHOT = false;
}

Another thing I want to do is create more than 1 "Zombie". I do not know how to do this at my current level, and Google hasn't helped much on this issue. If you could help me out here, I'd be eternally grateful
. Please don't hesitate to ask for my entire source-code, I really want to get this thing working
