Greetings everyone I am very excited to announce my new plugin Mortar Pro which provides a comprehensive solution for implementing autonomous turret guns. The plugin simplifies the development process for creating autonomous turret guns in your single-player games so that you guys can focus on other aspects of your games. This plugin is a successor of the Modular Turret C++ Plugin which was released in 2020.

Version 2 update

The plugin has been updated to Version 2 and contains additional features like

  1. Beam Aiming Component - In addition to the Burst Aiming and Semi-Automatic Aiming Component, there is a Beam Aiming Component that will continuously fire a projectile like an electric/laser beam or a flamethrower.

  2. Beam Projectile - This class of projectile is for the Beam Aiming Component. There are two Blueprints for the same: BP_MortarProLaserBeam and BP_MortarProFlame.

  3. Target Component - To allow shooting at a custom target on a mesh, there is a MortarProTargetPointComponent. Using this component, Mortar Pawn will know the target point on a mesh so that it can shoot it.

  4. Split Projectile Optimization - With the Plugin Update, projectile splitting has been made efficient to avoid doing extra sphere traces.

  5. Optimization of Physical Based Projectile - With the Plugin Update, the movement of physically based projectiles has been improved by removing Extra Collision Volume (Repel Volume) and has been replaced by a much more efficient way to ignore collisions between projectiles.

  6. Significance Manager - With Version 2 Update the plugin comes with Significance Manager, which is used for Physical Based Projectile Movement. Using this component, the tick rate for Projectile Movement can be changed based on configurable distance. Users can even turn on/off Niagara Effects based on Significance Value.

  7. Niagara VFX Changes - Niagara VFX has been slightly optimized to improve the performance of certain projectiles.
