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