Hey all! I’m trying to create a fireball “missile” using the First Person template, this is the issues I’m facing:

I don’t wan’t any physics as I’m creating a networking game, I just wan’t it to travel straight forward… I don’t know how to achieve this with c++ (I haven’t coded anything in a very long time)

When I replace the default sphere with a simple fireballish particle system, the particles stay in place instead of following the collision component… which leaves me with small flames in a trail instead of a big flame in one solid sphere (I do not wan’t this).

I’m very tired right now so if this is unreadable I’ll correct it tomorrow… Hope you understand.

I just realized that the shooter example has a rocket launcher utilizing the exact same effect I’m seeking, I think I can solve it solo.

I managed to solve the particle part, but I still don’t know how to make it shoot straight in one direction without physics, can anyone point me to the right direction?

Still not solved :confused:
