How to check where the Cannon ball will land before shooting?

[BenjaminKing245]

So I’m trying to figure out how would I find where the Cannon Ball will land before firing so the player knows where he’s shooting. Sadly I don’t know any math equations to figure this out if anyone knows let me know what you think.

here’s some examples

this is the code I use for firing the cannon so the cannon ball can reach exact where the cannon is aiming

Projectile motion, here is a quick example tool for quick results:

How do I show path of projectile?

Yeah, it’s the same but you will still need to tell the beam the shape of the projectile and where it’s going to which it will calculate using those 4 parameters. Here is an example tool I took from an old topic I helped out a long time ago.

Create a tool in starter pack, and insert this as a local script

local tool = script.Parent tool.RequiresHandle = false local Players = game:GetService("Players") local player = Players.LocalPlayer local mouse = player:GetMouse() local DB = fals…

To understand the math it’s this tutorial. Basically integrate starting from the equation a(t) = g or acceleration is equal to constant gravity. Also has the beam mathematics to model it with bezier curves that I used.

Modeling a projectile's motion

This guide was originally written for scriptinghelpers. The original can be found here. As a somewhat active member of the Scripting Helpers discord one of the most common questions I see is how to have a projectile travel an arc. Most people want to know how to do this for things like basketballs or cannon balls and so forth. Since this is such a popular question I thought it would be worth writing a blog post on it and talking about a few other things we can extend from our findings. Deriv…

is a good tutorial on how to make the curve but it doesn’t show on how to calculate where the canon will land tho
