Simple Sequence Cast Help

Unkeeper · Feb 17, 2020

Im using GUI Bullet/Arc Missile System v1.02

Can you guys help me modify it so i can make it work for my main project:

- I need it to cast multiple times like a barrage in the same direction (many as i set within a variable) and with ajustable timer between shots;

- Is there a way to make it bounce back of doodads / walls (even when project is flying)?

Just change the MissileCount = 1 to how many missiles you want to spawn from the caster, and add wait at the bottom of the loop so the missiles don't spawn at the same time.
