Be sure to set the Collision Preset to No Collision for the bolt projectile.

In this tutorial, we show you how to create a firing weapon for the Wraith Paragon character. This adds 2 visual effects, fires a projectile that sticks to a wall, and plays an audio explosion sound in the manner of a rail gun. Please note this is only a basic system and there's much more that could be added to it. The main goal is to show you how to get started with the process.
