Welcome to the second part of this brand-new series on my channel.

A big problem with most Unity Tutorials, including some on this channel, is that you are given the answers. The biggest part of being a software engineer is solving problems yourself.

This unique series of Unity challenges will try to fill that gap by giving small problems to be solved, and showing you how I would go about solving them. These will be set up as two-part videos. A - the tasks to be solved and B - the answers.

In part A, you are giving the task to try and figure out how to rotate an object towards a target and shoot a projectile at it. I suggest checking out that video first here:

   • Unity Rotate Towards Object and Shoot...  

In this second part, I will show you how I would rotate the turret of a tank towards an object, add some nice FX to it and shoot a missile at the target.

If you get stuck or better yet want to show off your results, make sure to jump onto the Discord Channel and share a video or screenshot of your results:

And if you are looking for an easy way to share to Discord, I recommend the free app ShareX:

If you are looking for some tips, many of my HowTo videos cover some aspects of what is in this challenge. So make sure to check them out too:
