You can easily customize projectiles, change their payloads(how about explosive bullet?) and make your own projectiles, which will be able to work with them by using interfaces.
You also get 3d models of rockets, bullets and grenades as well as modified first person character blueprint, flying pawn and many more.

I was able to easily migrate and use in my project within the hour - you did such an outstanding job of laying out the BluePrints and it was so modular and easy to swap out the projectiles!
Every projectile has a payload and sound effects, etc.
What’s next? Can’t wait to see more from you!
With this pack - I can truly scream “LET THE DESTRUCTION BEGIN!”
Thanks a lot! I really appreciate this.
Next I’m planning to add new projectiles in future updates. Maybe I will start working on Projectiles Pack vol. 2 or on another content pack.
Firstly, awesome pack, great price and the demo level is a great idea to “sell” the product. Just 3 things - the sound of the basic gun (and maybe other weapons) come from the point of impact with a surface and not from the gun itself - so when you fire at a target a long way away it is silent (becomes the sound of the impact is too far away to hear) - should there not also be a firing sound - is that how it is meant to be? Also, is it easy to stop or minimise all the screen movement when a rocket fires? it made me pretty dizzy. And finally, in the demo there seemed to be an issue with collisions for the rockets when I was in the target practise room - wherever I shot, the rocket blew up in my face. Even when I got near the door to exit the room and walked halfway out and shot outside into the sky it exploded in my face - I had to be a good 3 meters outside the room before the rocket actually shot off into the distance. Anyway, just 3 points, but overall an amazing pack…
Yes, there is only an impact sound for bullet, because it’s a projectiles pack and not a weapons pack. Different rifles may shoot with different sounds, so you have to implement it by yourself.
You can minimize shake by change settings in certain shake blueprint for desired projectiles.
About rocket - is that was an interceptor missile? Maybe it’s all because of collision settings(interceptor missiles have they own collision preset) and I’ll try to fix that in the next update.
How would you set this up with different weapons? Most weapons packs are BP’s themselves and use line traces for the projectiles with the ability to add a projectile mesh. I’m using the realistic blueprint weapons pack and it works the way I just outlined. I can’t see a way that you can add a projectile that is a BP.
You can set up meshes from projectiles pack, like bullets, in your realistic blueprint weapons. But I think, if you want to add support of blueprints in realistic blueprint weapons pack, you should rewrite a lot of blueprint code in it. Or you should contact with developer of this pack and ask him to add a support of blueprints.
Projectiles pack implements projectiles blueprints in a way, when you just need to spawn projectile(look at first person character blueprint for example) to make things work. It means that all projectile logic, like line trace for target and applying damage are inside it and you don’t need to implement this logic again in your weapons. But you can change this approach if you want, by adapting code from different packs on your own needs by yourself(because different packs may be incompatible with others, or implements the same functionality).
I started to work on first update(Projectiles Pack 1.1), which will bring new projectiles to you(up to 5, depends on many factors).
The first projectile, which I want to introduce you is the Blade Swarm. It allows you to summon N amount of blades, which will turn an enemy into a pillow for needles. This projectile also has homing capabilities.
Generally speaking, instead of blades there could be any other mesh. You can also control different parameters to change initial shape of the swarm, amount of blades, different offsets and so on.
Also I added a blade with 2 materials for this projectile - normal, which you can use in any conditions, and special, which will be used by this projectile.
And finally here’s the WIP video for this projectile. New projectiles coming soon. If you have any ideas or suggestions, I will be glad to hear them.
ECM(electronic countermeasures) strike now will protect you from enemies missiles.
Interrupt normal projectile movement by using this new projectile.
Right now there is no area of effect(maybe will do this in the next update, if someone will need this) and all projectiles, which implements homing missile interface will be affected.
