Need help getting forward velocity of player and applying it to initial speed of spawned projectile.

[Specter223]

I’m currently spawning a projectile from a point attached to the player (a car).

Blueprint for the projectile itself, where the initial velocity is set.

Blueprint for where the projectile is spawned, and the inherited velocity is calculated.

I’ve tried a dozen combinations of this logic, but nothing has seemed to work so far. Can anyone see what’s wrong with this logic?

Consider using actual velocity instead:

Projectile Movement Direction

Wouldn’t it be easier / more natural to trace first and then fire a bullet? If tracing is not required at all, it can be even simpler - use the camera vector to fire the bullet [image] Initial Speed on the PMC set to 0. [image] It would also give you the chance to add player velocity to the mix, so you do not accidentally overtake your own slow flying bullets as you run. Velocity being relative and all. If you need / must use a trace, consider getting direction like so: [image] or: …
