Ball is Curving incorrectly

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

so, I’m basically trying to make the ball curve (when thrown) to the mouse position, or the attachment (called ‘a1’) in this case as that follows the mouse position as well. . . While it works (sorta), it’s not exactly going to the attachment’s position

local dir = ball.Position - workspace.Trajectory.a1.Position
local dur = math.log(1.001 + dir.Magnitude + 0.01)
local force = dir + Vector3.new(0, workspace.Gravity * 0.5, 0)
	
ball:ApplyImpulse(force * ball.AssemblyMass)

Obviously I tried a few stuff before coming here, but failed.

If you mean by “gravity” I’ve heard you can set that up with a module called FastCast Making a combat game with ranged weapons? FastCast may be the module for you!
As stated it’s designed for weapons, but the ball is basically a bullet so it can be set up however you want it to be.

Roblox physics are unreliable.

If you’re looking to create a curve, I’d suggest using CFrame with bezier curves, or if you want it to be affected by gravity, CFrame with a Gravity formula that makes it go down

I’ll try that when I have the time, thanks!

I was thinking the same thing, but I’m not sure how I would go about doing that as when I tried, it failed pretty terribly (by terribly, it basically just crashes?).

for making a proper curve I strongly recommend you visiting this
