Well, the thing is I'm not supposed to have my inherited class in game Ever. I would just like the code to be on one and only weapon class instead of my 4 other classes.
Also, I don't understand what you want to say when you say "targetting feature".
In fact, my real Weapon classes are all inherited from UDNWeapon, in which I copy/past your code, which is inherited from UTWeapon.
One example from my 4 weapons classes :
There's no Firing Process over these codes, actually, I think you'll have to help me out finding it in UTWeapon Class.
Part in italic is what I suppose to be the part when my "scout" projectile (called UDNProj_Pathway) is spawned.
I had to add lots of variables, and change such things as UDNGameInfo, 'cause I didn't have created these classes yet, and I got many errors from UnrealFrontend.
Now I don't get any errors or warnings, but I don't get no traces in game. My weapon class UDNWeapon is not working, even if I assign a Projectile to itself, but my UDNProj_Pathway is.
Sorry for my misunderstanding, and for my english too, young french guy who's trying to figure out things in someone's else language... ^^'
