Ok my grenade thrower ennemy work perfectly. I send variable from the distance of the foe to of the hero to the range of the "physic shoot" function ennemy and boom!

Now I want to make a rocket launcher. I have a little problem.
I'm feeding the angle of the hero relative to the foe in a variable using the "get angle to target" playmaker function.

The problem I have is that when my hero is touching the ground, the rocket go just a little bit over his head.
It's like the "get angle to target" is not precise enough
Can somebody help me?
thx!

I found that the calculation of the angle is from the center point my calculation was from the middle of the cube... this is why the angle was false it as to start from the ground... So I made my mesh really small near the the ground, now everything work normal...
