The spawn position is the same for every bullet.

Spawn the bullets as children of the sprites and use
set_global_rotation(get_parent().get_global_rotation())
Note that the question asked about movement direction - they’ve already set the rotation.
In addition, this answer demonstrates bad coding practices. Don’t use set_global_rotation(), use the global_rotation property. Also, you should avoid using get_parent() as it breaks if you change tree location - objects should not reference nodes above them in the tree.

Ah, I thought by direction they meant rotation and coded from the bullet.
Also unless the hierarchy is constantly changing, I would’ve thought get_parent() is ok for a one time reference if the new instance has a script of its own. I get how it could get messy if it’s used too regularly.

If I understand your question correctly, you’ve chosen a random rotation for the bullet, and you want it to travel in the chosen direction.
Assuming you have a velocity vector for movement:
velocity = Vector2(speed, 0).rotated(rotation)
Or you can use the bullet’s transform, which gives you its forward vector:
velocity = transform.x * speed
You didn’t mention what kind of node the bullet is or how you’re moving it, so you’ll have to adapt to whatever your movement scheme is.
