Help! I need to figure out how to get bots to shoot bullets

[kian jolley]

Below is the code for the game I'm making and for some reason I'm having trouble getting the bots shooting properly. I have managed to get the player you control shooting properly and the bullets tracking your movement, but the bot just wont seem to function as I hoped. I figured the way the bots shoot should be similar to the player shoots, but it's not the case. I figure I'm just missing something small, but I don't know what. Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance!
