About this project

What does Homing Arrow add?

By default, press Z to activate the tracking arrow guidance head, and press U to switch to the tracking arrow view. During this time, the player will be uncontrollable, and releasing U will restore control.

The tracking arrow uses proportional guidance to calculate the predicted interception point, with a near explosion range of 4 units and a blast radius of 6 units, dealing 38 damage. It also has a hit time calculation, and you can see the expected hit countdown on the left side of the screen.

You can rename the original arrow and put it into the launcher to get something similar to ID guidance, allowing it to directly track players.

The tracking arrows fired by the launcher have boosters and a longer range than those fired by players.

Players come with an RWR, and it will show when locked by a tracking arrow.

If there are other entities between the tracking arrow and the target in a straight line, the tracking arrow will be interfered with and try to track the entity instead.
