My Daughter & I are making a game and new at it. We have gotten the charachter to do every attack we want except keeping the projectiles locked in a 360 degree plane around the character…regardles if the character walks up or down streets of rage/cult of the lamb style…but with gun projectiles…the f…

I finally got it! plus character flips towards crosshair/projectiles & (aim/crosshair when key is held)-blueprints not shown for this last part). On to the Moldy Salmon Eggs now! Thanks for all your time, advice, ideas, and past resolutions that got help get me this far @Everynone ! [BP_SHerF…

You’re looking for Line Plane Intersection: Some examples: [image] Left Mouse button pressed and released equivalent in enhanced input (or drag and drop) Blueprint Here’s some script allowing for picking up stuff and moving it in a specific plane only we dete…

[image] Line Trace from a 3d point to mouse location Blueprint I’m making a 3d side-scroller game and I want to do a line trace from the character glasses to wherever I click on the screen with the mouse. I want this trace to stay on the same plane as my character, so the…

I guess I already had this & can show the Plane with the debug. (Huge THANKS to @Everynone so many of your guides/assistance here in the forum have gotten us so far!!!) The plane follows the characters socket and everything already I just had it visually off. [image] I just can’t get the projecti…

The Plane Normal should be 0,0,1 if this is a top-down view. Assuming you want to hit any of those: [image]

We want it to be Side Scroller style, and not be able to shoot the top can at all. Just a flat 2D plane of shooting. If going to shoot the top can have to walk up there and be parallel with it ( only able to shoot left/right/arc up around) So just like any basic sidescroller locked to a single plan…

Exactly like you did a video for here, but character can walk/dash in a 3D space. Line Trace from a 3d point to mouse location The last video here for the aim & just need projectiles to follow it eventually for joystick but mouse works for now :slight_smile:

I can’t recall how the axis were set up in the template, and can’t see it in your world. Maybe you need 0,1,0 as normal. Draw that plane to visualise it - it may be set to fully transparent here.

Yes I turned the plane color on/increased the alpha and its a perfect wall with the character in front, looks perfect (just like the previous post/video you made!) Its just the projectiles will not stay aligned with that plane…the projectiles act like a top down and not a Side Scroller like we want……

If you need help, you may need to demonstrate how the projectiles are fired.

Yes I realize I should have done a better video and will get one asap

2.5D but shoot projectiles along 2D arc around character
