Ah at first I couldn't quite grasp what the problem was, but now I am thinking you could use invisible non-solid zones each with different gravity settings. (Unless Altfire modified gravity overrides ALL other zones... ) Ste used custom zones like this to subtly increase the jump of players to reach the higher part of DXMP_Drydock. So long as most of the desired path for your projectile is not reachable by jumping players it should be safe to build a zone with new gravity settings in the zone info actor, so that the projectile hits it and does not just float around due to Altfires native low-gravity. Alternatively you could possibly do this with Teleporters, by placing one teleporter actor in front of where the porjectile spawns, but orienting the direction of the destination teleporter downwards somewhat so that it takes a steeper path. Put them close together so the projectile doesn't actually look like it's teleporting at all. Teleporter 1: URL: Tele1 Event: Tele2 Teleporter 2 (Destination): URL: Tele2 Event: <BLANK> This is all assuming that it's possible to fiddle with the collision properties of both the teleporter actors and the projectile actors in such a way that the teleports will only work on projectiles!! Also the projectile may jump back and forth between them, but hopefully not if you leave the EVENT property of the second teleport as blank! I'm too lazy to figure that part out right now as I have been up all night finishing up the pre-finall stage of DXMP_IceWorld_2
AKA Knifeworld on Discord etc. Frozen brains tell no tales!

Don't rockets go straight? Is your rocket arcing? Are you placing it directly in the map or are you using DeusEx.ProjectileGenerator?

All I did was place an actor from Projectile, sub menu, DeusExProjectile, sub menu, Rockets...any of of the 5 in the list.
Like Shadow already said they contentiously explode in the map an we both not sure how to set them up...let alone move! I have tried dispatchers, triggers and messed with all settings in the lists to no avail yet.
As for the Projectile used in aka Castle map it's what I want but has a problem...No gravity setting/function so used in both zone settings 0 grav/normal grav setting will hit different place in the map than intended. I'm not %100 sure but dam sure the Altfire server or any server with the same settings will bypass/override everything to server settings anyway if I did what you said Anax.
I have done something else for this map but might be helpful if there is an answer to this UED Projectile, sub menu, DeusExProjectile, sub menu, Rockets...any of of the 5 in the list...issue that others may try to use and find the same results in the future.

This map shows how to set up a ProjectileGenerator to shoot a projectile when triggered. Gravity doesn't affect rockets over practical distances so this would work in altfire too. http://www.filedropper.com/projtest

Thanks Poor it's exactly what I was after but now get this error when it hits a breakable wall. it does the same thing when i host it in server but crashes the whole server and shuts it down. http://www.mediafire.com/view/rn5sb58vl ... jerror.jpgI might just go back to what i had before and forget about all this as it seems to be much hassle for something simple.

Don't give up so easy! I can tell from the recursion error that your mover is doubled, the map is bugged. Can probably be fixed by deleting and re-adding the glitched movers. The for certain way to repair a corrupt map is to export the level as text (File->Export Level) and while the map is still loaded, import the level you just exported as a new level and rebuild everything.
