Here's the bullet particle I used in the video - Thank you to all the members of the community who made it! Hope it helps-!! drive.google.com/file/d/1Z4smW0LIM1jVWztXVxEVgDt_CBhCqAWH/view?usp=sharing

Some trivia bits from Halo: Nearly every projectile is homing with varying degrees of intensity. This is one of the ways they do aim assist. Spawning a projectile and then launching it takes an additional frame of time, which is exacerbated by lag, so they compensate by also doing a line trace first. If the trace hits a target at a distance the projectile would have landed within one frame, it immediately calls the damage instead of waiting for the projectile to land. And can't remember if this has been noted before, but player controller numbers are local, I believe. More or less for split screen, as every player is Player Zero on their own client.

NOT A PROBLEM!!!!!

Thanks for making this, bro!!!

Hypnotically speaking in a supreme commanders style game which would be more optimised? Calculating the trajectory and letting Unreal calculate the position every frame. Or making a spline of the desired trajectory and have the particle follow along it?

[@jomesias]

If you do an animation you’ll have to offset for relative world position which can and will change when you move. And no physics. if you use the homing component in a class/BluePrint it’s full on physics loaded and unreal takes care of the homing trajectory. Another option is to apply a physics force (also called impulse), and it will follow it. But no homing! 🎉

[@namesurname624]

Ive been trying to make my projectile physically affect hit targets. Its a realistic tracer. But to do that I had to discard the projectile component and treat it like a physical object, apply a lot of force to it to make it go fast. Which caused collision issues, which i fixed with CCD but... No matter how low the mass is objects always go flying unrealistically either way, even if they have huge mass. Any advice on how to fix that?

[@shadowgames50]

Could you do a homing projectile tutorial next? Maybe even make is so you can choose the target with a widget?

Can i follow this to make a heatray type thing?

retention is better for algo

Now add recoil on the gun 😅

So you're all in on Unreal? That's too bad because while UE5 can look absolutely beautiful, it's such a bad engine for smaller devs and even for triple A honestly. Seeing how hard it is to find a Unreal Engine game that doesn't have performance problems. I feel like Unity is the better engine overall

[@TheRoyalSkies]

Unity is a good engine, and I’m actually more comfortable with it still, but Unreal just makes things look real good real fast, and as a character animator/modeler, that goes a long way in time saved in aesthetics -

[@Caldoric]

Also, given the skanky stuff Unity tried to pull a few months ago with the per-download fees they tried to impose on game devs, and some other sketchy stuff to boot, it's best to just drop Unity for good. They're inherently hostile towards smaller end users.
