Rotate mesh towards Toss velocity

[SupportiveEntity]

Hey @FinalRockstar, so if I’m understanding the problem correctly, you’re pathing the arc from the projectile socket but want to rotate the gun itself and not a projectile of it, and you just want the gun itself to rotate towards it’s current velocity?

I myself have only ever used the projectile component since it has this functionality built in, however there’s more custom approaches to this. I came across a thread that does just a basic turn object to it’s velocity but I feel like I’m missing something with the casting from the projectile shooting socket.

Rotate an towards object velocity direction

The simplest way would probably be to add a projectile movement component to the object. That has a built in function for making the object rotate towards its movement direction. Alternatively, you can do something like this: [312447-capture.png] Add on some rotation interp to smooth it out, but that itself will give you the rotation you want, assuming the actor’s “forward” is along positive X in local space.

Let me know if I’m off base, a clarification might get me sorted!
