I'm trying to impliment either a blur or a turn the screen red as the player is shot. I have seen this done in a few 3rd person shooter games I have played (Gears, Rainbow Six). Can anyone point me to a tutorial, or help me get started on how to impiment this?

I was having this same problem, and I noticed that my file was not being compile (didn't show in the bin folder).

I am trying to attach a machine gun to my model, so he is holding it. I have found a few tutorials on this site, however I don't think I have it right.

I am creating a 3rd person shooter game in XNA. I have been searching everywhere to try and find out how to impliment a laser sight for my gun. This probably goes without explanation, but I basically want to have a laser that points to whatever I am shooting at. I also would like it to be such that I can add a glow and flicker to it. Any help?
