With the 2D Homing Missiles asset, a special proportional controller algorithm is used to move missiles intelligently, instructing missiles to reach their target, rather than just move directly to their targets.

“Sharing is caring”
Now with Unity 2020 and 2021 LTS support! The 2D Homing Missiles asset for Unity gives you realistically moving missiles to use in your games and prototypes along with smoke trails.

Normally, missiles should never move directly towards their targets, this is not how they work in real life. Too many times we see simple missile follow scripts being used to allow missiles to track targets. The 2D Homing Missiles asset does things the right way in terms of realistic missile movement.
With the 2D Homing Missiles asset, a special proportional controller algorithm is used to move missiles intelligently, instructing missiles to reach their target, rather than just move directly to their targets. A desired state is constantly fed to each missile’s controller, as their targets move, steering the missiles in the right direction in order for them to reach their targets with realistic flight paths. This results in super realistic (and entertaining to watch) missile patterns.
Package contents
