How do I make my AIs throw grenades

[Kriegtical (Spreadsheet56)]

So, I want to make my AIs being to throw grenades, but I don’t know how to calculate the arch of the grenade throw or how to make the grenade start by going up.

Any tips?

You could use this:

Predict projectile ballistics, including gravity and motion

I don’t think anyone here would want to learn how it works, and I don’t blame you. I plagiarized all of this from the internet and somehow botched it into a working package so that you don’t have to. What is this? An actual, accurate projectile ballistic trajectory calculator. If you’ve ever played WarThunder, you should be familiar with this (the little reticle that leads ahead of an enemy craft? That’s exactly what this is.) [image] What can this be used for? If you’re designing a war-the…

to calculate where the ai should aim.

But then you still have to check whether something is in the way, whether the grenade blows up before it reaches the destination and alternative paths.

But this should be moved to scripting support, because this isn’t game design.
