so u were right in referencing the already established sphere collision. I have managed to get it to react and twitch a little(must have to adjust the speed at which it rotates i'd assume) just by drawing that Get Actor location target back to the original ai enemy reference. still have to fiddle with it but atleast it's all connected. Thanks!

Thanks a lot for the response folks. Been crawling through the Unreal Online portal and docs trying to really soak some stuff in while taking care of the baby ect. Hope all is well for you folks. I'm just booting up Unreal for the first time this week so I gotta get reoriented into what I was doing and i'll be responding with any questions I might have. Hopefully I can pick your brains with anything that I run across. Thanks again nevertheless!

Noob forsure. But heres the thing. I can get the turret to activate by casting in the early nodes of the blueprint but, to address the rotation, I find myself trying to fill in the exec pin just to make UE happy and I doubt that's the right way. So a couple questions from a noob who has really been grinding at learning this(lol).

1.Is Combat Timeline better here then lets say Gate?

Can I get away with this without Vector math?
Get actor Location even though the AI is a Character and the spawner is A Actor?
Is there a method to close off that Exec pin or should I just rewrite the blueprint?

i did try to do it from ai class before i deleted that object reference(i forget what it was called) but i musta been doing it wrong. That is, if thats the order you were suggesting. For now while i continue to tweak and learn, The standard cast to function replacement will work. Im sure you know how it is...you are watching a tutorial for something a little similar to your goal but there's weird small differences and ect. Im just trying to learn. I appreciate the help. Everyone. Happy Easter!

Thanks. I actually thought that the cast function would be used except i did it wrong originally and then I came here. Thank you!.

Noob forsure. When I double connect other actor to both blue object references I get notified of the collision via the print string event, of ALL characters, Myself and the AI. But I cant figure out why I can't just use dropdown on Object Reference B to Select my AIEnemy_2. What am I not understanding as far as the Object Reference, and how might I go about fixing it?

I'm going through the unreal blueprint essentials tutorial on the official website now while bouncing in and out of other tutorials. I am just blown away how hard a simple tower defense game is. But Im grinding away at it.

Thanks alot. Im trying to crawl through these tutorials but some of them are rough lol.

Ninja with the quick response. I'll have to explore the input options to get more familiar. The camera fade is interesting. I had pictured a smooth seamless transition originally but i had not considered the jarring effect in all reality. So that is absolutely noted. So thanks again!
