Maybe this will help.
This is a Function that I made for this action (it doesn't work the way I want):
Function burst(gun)
gunflash=LoadSprite("Burst 1.bmp")
EntityParent gunflash,gun
PositionEntity gunflash,EntityX(gun,1)-10,EntityY(gun,1)+80,EntityZ(gun,1)
RotateEntity gunflash,EntityPitch#(gun,1),EntityYaw#(gun,1),EntityRoll#(gun,1)
flash=Millisecs()
If Millisecs()<flash+1000
ShowEntity gunflash
Else
HideEntity gunflash
EndIf
End Function


If you need to know where I said to activate the function then tell me.
Also, when I move around the terrain, the sprites keep popping up in different places.
