Informaion on Airstrikes

Shadow1780 · June 13, 2020, 1:17pm

Hi,

Is there anyway to program airstrikes via blueprint?, I’m aiming to summon airstrikes via a laser designator.

The aim is for a aircraft to fly in a strafing type run unleashing a hail of bullets or possibly a bomb, When a target has been designated. I’ve been looking around for blueprint tutorials and stuff but can’t find any information on how I would implement this.

Any help is appreciated, Thanks.

Hey Shadow1780,

You would need to do a line trace.

Maybe this tutorial can help you.

First, I make a bp For doing the line trace.
It shoots a line from the camera forward.

If it hits something I can get the location in the world where it hit.

And then spawn another BP there.

This BP is the explosion.
