For some reason i can't get my projectiles from any of my towers to home in on its target. Sometimes ill get lucky and all the shots will connect, then the wave is over in seconds, other times none of the blows will connect and ill lose instantly. This problem is making it extremely hard for me to balance my TD, anybody know what im doin wrong? I already checked the projectile homing enabled box, so whats wrong?
Thanks in advance.

Soul Tower looks fine, it doesn't even have an attack type that should matter in this case.

For pain tower, Projectile Homing Enabled is set to false. Try setting it to True.

EDIT: Oh, I see what's wrong with Soul Tower. You want it to have 1500 range, but it only has 700. Change Combat-Acquisition Range to 1500 and you should be good to go.

The range was another problem too, so what is acquisition range anyway? The maximum distance a target can be away from the tower before it starts firing?
Either way thanks for the help, and i think i got what i need so you can go ahead and close this thread, thanks!:infl_thumbs_up:

Acquisition Range is the range a unit will autoacquire an enemy and start chasing them at. Eg. If a Grunt had 700 Acquisition Range, it would chase enemies that it could see that came within 700 distance of it.

If range > acquisition range, range = acquisition range. It's annoying, but you have to live with it >_>
