Here is a topic that answers your question.

Movement along a parabolic trajectory

Hello! I’m trying to make the block move along a parabolic trajectory. As far as I understand, TweenService can only change the coordinate by the same step. Is there any way I can smoothly change the vertical coordinate regardless of the horizontal one and make a “jump” of the block?

you can also just read into parabolas overall. Its just math.

Bezier curves are what you want. I have made a video on the topic already.

You basically want to put a point on every alpha then connect them with beams

video isnt available, do you have any other videos of the same sort? im trying to create shadow tendrils which bend towards a player.
ended up finding one:

although im not sure how to implement custom segment lengths where when its more steep, the parts become longer and there are less of them.
