I made a flying unit that fires missiles that move to the target, then return.

It mostly works fine. Except that if the firing unit is moving, the missiles return to the location they were fired from rather than new location of the firing unit.

Ive tried using a SOp Type Attachment but it does not seem to have any effect.

Effect chain is:

Launch Projectile

--Search Area

----Damage

Projectile Actor has:

Actor: Is Tentacle = true

Hosting: Host Return = Unit Actor

Hosting: Return Site Operations = Attachment SOp

Launch Effect has:

Movement: Return Movers+ = Special Return Mover

Special Return Mover's last two motion phases are both Guidance.

How do I ensure that the projectile tracks the firing unit during its return phase?

It does not.

Impact Location - Target Unit

Launch Location - Source Unit

Ok I got it to track back to its firing unit properly. (Turns out what was missing was Host Supporter+ entries)

Now I just have to figure out how to deal with Tentacle projectiles always facing away from their firing units.

I need it to act like a regular guided missile that faces its moving direction. :P

Ultimately I decided to use a projectile that had was symmetrical and looked good without rotating.

But I do plan to come back to Facing Return Projectiles for other things so Ill take a look.

Thank you.

Yes.

Well.. Its a returning projectile so Im assuming that the target changes to the firing unit during the return trip?

I want it to face the target while traveling to the target, then face the firing unit when returning to the firing unit.

Nice! Thank you. Ill definitely be looking into that.
