MMO style homing spell projectiles that can never miss the target

Development Programming & Scripting
1

This tutorial shows how you can make a projectile that will hit the target and only that target; no matter what. Much like what you’d see in a game like World of Warcraft. This tutorial assumes you already have some sort of system for targeting.

You can check out my video tutorial series on RPG style targeting here:

If you don’t want/like/need a system like that, then you can always just use a simple line trace and store the actor hit.

Keep an eye out, I have some more tutorials to go with this (I just have to get around to uploading them). One covers channeled spells, similar to arcane missiles from WoW, where if you move, while casting, it will interrupt the spell cast. Another one covers a charging spell that is pretty similar to the spartan laser from halo and that has a charging meter widget. I also have a few more things that I need to get around to recording as well!

Oh really? Why do not you make videos from scratch doing this system and not just showing it? Many people will not be able to guide themselves or not just seeing what you did
