Some tough math

[Memorykiller]

Hey UDK,
What i'm trying to accomplish is essentially a Rocket projectile that will always ascend vertically for 1 second and will need to arch down like a missile strike to a designated & dynamic vector location (The vector location is my mouse coordinates which I can get no problem). So basically i'm wanting to shoot a missile projectile and have the missile land where my cursor is. My theory to accomplish this is that i'll have the Missile spawned in my playercontroller (this is a must, and i know how to do this), and in the projectile-class of the missile i'd set a timer to continuously arch the missile's rotation down but my problem is determining the amount of rotation required to meet the mouse location no matter how close or far the mouse cursor is. Any help? Maybe there's an easier way to do this?

Thanks!

Why is spawning it in pc a must? Just curious. Concerning your rotation problem, how about giving the projectile an acceleration and a rotation rate, and let it try rotating to aim to your currently pointed vector by itself? Anyways, the rotation the missile needs to achieve is rotator(targetlocation-currentlocation) so no tough math. And don't use a timer but tick(), so you can apply deltatime. You won't want different results on machines with different specs.

I assume it's a must because he's not using Pawns, but yeah, Misk has it. You just need to work out a desired rotation, and interpolate to it using deltatime.
