You can use a blank event instead of 'System: Every tick'. The advantage is you save yourself a few clicks :)

Blanks can be used if you need several steps in the same event. Here I set up ProjectileAngle, then alter it based on some limits, and once it's validated, I use a blank event to keep going.

I also like to use blanks just to break up long events, so it's easier to group things together and see the logic more easily/cleanly.

I also use them if I want to make some local variables, where the alternative would be globals.
