Making a ballistic missile

Introduction

This tutorial will teach you how to make a ballistic missile that can strike anywhere on the surface of an ark. The models for the missile silo and the missile itself were made by pleasure in his tutorial here <>.

Explanation

This ballistic missile will have several components.

The first component is the missile silo. The silo will allow you to craft ballistic missiles and then fire them. The silo will have an inventory component where you can craft a missile and a button where you can launch the missile.

The second component is the ballistic missile. The missile will be a moving actor that allows up to four passengers and it will have a launch phase, an ascent phase, a level out phase, a descent phase, and finally a terminal phase where if the missile touches anything it explodes. The ballistic missile cannot be shot down or stopped.

The third component is a locator structure. This structure will act as a target for the ballistic missile and a tribe may only have a single one placed on the map at one time.

The final component is an explosion actor. In order to get a more complex type of explosion by the missile the ballistic missile will deposit an explosion actor when it hits the ground. This explosion actor will manage all the different components of the explosion in a sequence before destroying itself.
