Projectile system with Prediction

[lilmazen1234 (MazenEz)]

So I’m currently trying to make a projectile system with a curve system and It would have a feature where it show a prediction path similar to the game named “BedWars”.

I’ve made some code for the projectile and the curve system [They’re not that great] but couldn’t get my hands on the prediction system. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

function module.Shoot(Position1, Position2, ObjectName)

	local Direction = Position2 - Position1
	local Duration = math.log(1.001 + Direction.Magnitude * 0.01)

	Position2 = workspace.pos.Position+ workspace.pos.AssemblyLinearVelocity * Duration
	Direction = Position2 - Position1

	local Force  = Direction/Duration + Vector3.new(0, game.Workspace.Gravity * Duration * 0.5,0)




	local Object = ObjectsThrown:FindFirstChild(ObjectName):Clone()
	Object.Parent = workspace
	Object.Position = Position1 

	Object:ApplyImpulse(Force * Object.AssemblyMass)
	Object:SetNetworkOwner(nil)
end

I believe they are using a beam, and positioning a attachment to where the projectile is going to end by using math.

[lilmazen1234 (MazenEz)]

Yeah. They are using a beam but that’s not the problem. The problem is how did they do the math?

[LuaCoold (lua)]

The math part is complicated, just use your current formula.

I recommend running checks and positioning the attachment where it lands, might not be the best method, but get’s the job done.

The math has already been done before

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. Deri…

Using a Beam to Model Projectile Motion

So I’ve had this code for a while now and keep forgetting to post it. From the amount of questions about it on the devforum, I think it will be helpful for some people. The code is a little bit messy and unintuitive but it gets the job done. It’s a little hacky and I couldn’t figure out how to make it nicer while still being efficient (if anyone can make it better, please do so and post it here). This code was largely put together using projectile motion code from an old Roblox tool (slingshot …

Seems to work fine. One question though is there a possible way to not let the physics change the Orientation of the object? I want to add an Orientation tween for the gift.

Any help is appreciated!
