I am using the Side Scroller Blueprint within Unreal 4. I have created a level and whatnot and what i want to focus on now is shooting. I want to have a bullet basically spawn from the characters position and shoot out perpendicular from the character. This would have to apply to which way they are facing as well. This is similar to older side scrollers how the bullets moved in a straight line across the screen. Are there any good videos for this? How should I go about to do this? Thank you for any tips or suggestions!
Take a look at the First Person Template in blueprints, it has a projectile firing mechanic, all you need to make what your asking is in that template.
If you search on Youtube there are plenty of tutorials that will also show you this.
Get Actor’s Forward Vector and spawn the projectile in that direction.
