Hi, I’m making a grenade throwing system, but I’ve no idea about how I would start.

Well for working with projectiles, we all know the trusted method to handle with them through fast cast to avoid the problems with the physics engine + it supports “physics”.
Hey everybody!
Click to view key information for existing users The module’s version is currently Ver 13.2.0 released on 12 November 2020** Changelogs can be viewed <a href="https://etithespirit.github.io/FastCastAPIDocs/changelog/">HERE</a>
Support will only be given for the current version. Certain public toolkits that include FastCast may be using an out of date version. Please check the version in the main module (a comment near the top) before asking for help.
Then to handle the physics of the grenade I suggest studying the projectile motion physics through here:
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.
Plus EgoMoose already has an grenade example in this specific post:
So recently @Maximum_ADHD posted this on twitter and through a series of events I was asked if I would post a tutorial showing how to do it. I’m not sure if this is exactly how Clone did it, but this is how I approached it.
So to start off let’s cover the process that doing something like this would entail.
Start with a position and velocity which we can use the above equations to find the projectile’s path.
Find where this path intersects with in game geometry.
Reflect the current velocity a…

Thank you! I’m gonna read it! Much appreciated mate
