Fire a Projectile

Before you paste3

• Parent classCharacter

  Class Settings, then Parent Class. Or create the Blueprint from Character.

• BP_ProjectileSpawn Actor class

  Set the Spawn Actor Class pin to your own projectile Blueprint after pasting.

• MuzzleSocket on the character mesh

  Skeletal Mesh editor, Add Socket. Place it where shots should start.

How it works

1. Step 1: 1A click goes through Do OnceLeft Mouse Button fires into Do Once, which lets one shot through and then stays closed until it is reset.
2. Step 2: 2Find the muzzle and the aimGet Socket Location reads the Muzzle socket on the character mesh. Get Player Camera Manager and Get Camera Rotation give the direction the camera faces, and Make Transform joins the two.
3. Step 3: 3Spawn the projectileSpawn Actor creates BP_Projectile at that transform. Your projectile Blueprint handles its own movement and hits.
4. Step 4: 4Limit the fire rateAfter a 0.2 second Delay, Do Once opens again, so even fast clicking fires at most five shots a second.
