I used the search function and read through the tutorials but couldn't find an answer to my problem. Here it is:

Is it possible, and if yes how, to allign a projectile sprite to the angle the gun is aiming. Currently, my weapons fire their non-round non-particle projectiles in a rather weird manner. They keep the angle the sprite was drawn in, it's always facing right.
The only Gun i found that fired sprited projectiles that were not round was the famous homing missile launcher, but i don't want to shoot tracking actors, just normal unguided rockets and bolts.

Yes, can't be done, numgun tried with his stake launcher, but failed.

Thanks for the fast replay.
That way i save myself a lot of time on an impossible gun weapon project.

Of course, you could have an actor that doesn't track...

Yeah, i'll give it a try.

Probably won't work though, actors are always emitted at the same angle I think.

TD's right, actors are emitted the same way as MOSRotatings

Jep, just found out. Well, i'll stick with round "rockets" than.

Whatever that is what youre doing, I'd suggest to make the round equally shaped like a square or a circle. This way you could make it really universal and not worry about the angle.

You can also make the round as an emitter with a ball/square sprite that has a trail of any style and setting.

I have no Problem with conventional symtetrical round shapes, used them already.
But i had the Idea to make a kind of speargun and a simple rocketlauncher (that
launches somehting that looks like a rocket, and that seems to be imposible right
now. Not a Problem, i have more time to figure out the crabmovement that way.

I remember around build 14 someone made a rocket launcher in which the rocket was a part of the HDFirearm, and launched on the right angle.

'Twas I.

I'll convert it someday, but it's got masses of code and most of it refers to old gibs and materials.
