Player Aiming Will Creep upwards on Tank

[Jarrod-Shaw]

I am towards the the end of the course, and I have an issue that I cant seem to get a handle of.

Basically what is happening is my tank barrel will continually creep upwards, not to mention its a bit Twitchy. I cant seem to pinpoint whether it is something in my code, or if the problem is my Laptop doesn’t have the oomph to get over 20 FPS (Coding at work while babysitting scripts…).

Can someone at least point me in a direction? I don’t necessarily want a solution, I want to figure it out, but I’m coming up with blanks, the code matches his almost exactly, my debug logs are not helping.

Issue was addressed here, but to no solution:

Help with the tank aiming elevation

Here is my project at this state:

Never-mind. I had my aiming reticle in the wrong place…

This helped TREMEDOUSLY:

Buggy Aiming

Took me a little bit but I found your problem. It’s because you have your camera in a way that it’s always looking at the top of the tank, I debuged this by enabling the debug line trace and noticing it hitting the top of the tank, the red arrows (they look like lines in the picture but they’re little arrows) being the normal of the hit. [image] I added the debug line like this if you’re wondering const FName TraceTag("TraceTag"); GetWorld()->DebugDrawTraceTag = TraceTag; FCollisionQueryParam…

Happy Coding all!
