Treating character as a homing missile?

[weakroblox35]

Is there a way to treat character as a homing missile? I know how to move it to a part but the jumping is what got me, I’m trying to make the player jump in a curve/arc but couldn’t figure out a way.

local Player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer

local userInput = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local Mouse = {}
local RAY_DISTANCE = 1000 
local cam = workspace.CurrentCamera

function Mouse.HitPosition(raycastParams, distance)
	local mousePos = userInput:GetMouseLocation()
	local viewportMouseRay = cam:ViewportPointToRay(mousePos.X, mousePos.Y)
	local rayCastResult = workspace:Raycast(viewportMouseRay.Origin, viewportMouseRay.Direction * (distance or RAY_DISTANCE), raycastParams)
	local hitPosition
	if rayCastResult then
		hitPosition =  rayCastResult.Position
	else
		hitPosition = viewportMouseRay.Origin+viewportMouseRay.Direction * (distance or RAY_DISTANCE)
	end
	return hitPosition
end

Player:GetMouse().Button1Down:Connect(function()
	local raycastP = RaycastParams.new()
	raycastP.FilterDescendantsInstances = {Player.Character}
	raycastP.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Exclude
	local hrp : BasePart = Player.Character.HumanoidRootPart
	local t = Instance.new("Part")
	t.Anchored = true
	t.CanCollide = false
	t.Color = Color3.fromRGB(255,0,0)
	t.Material = Enum.Material.Neon
	t.Position = Mouse.HitPosition(raycastP)
	t.Parent = workspace
	local humanoid : Humanoid = Player.Character.Humanoid
	humanoid.JumpPower = 90
	humanoid:MoveTo(t.Position, t)
	humanoid.Jump = true
	humanoid:ChangeState(Enum.HumanoidStateType.Jumping)
end)

How to turn this long jump form a steep spike to a curve

I want to turn the jump from doing this [image] [image] to this (this is the exact jump mine is based on) [image] [image] this is my script game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid").StateChanged:Connect(function(old, state) -- run function if state == Enum.HumanoidStateType.Jumping and htime == 1 then coroutine.resume(coroutine.create(function() jumpanim:Play() local bv = Instance.new("BodyVelocity") bv.P = 10000000 bv.MaxForce = Vector3.new(math.huge, mat…

Character jump with Bezier curve

I’m making this frog follow a bezier curve Steps so far: Find the start, end, and middle points Generate x amount of waypoints Make character traverse waypoints the problem right now is with step 3, I’ve tried regular cframing, alignposition, and tweening tweening is the best solution so far, and is what I used in the video above – tweening character local function jump(jumpDistance, jumpHeight, jumpTime, wayPointCount) if jumping then return end jumping = true local tweenInfo = Twee…

I tried using @TheZanderius way but it just keeps going forward.

Player:GetMouse().Button1Down:Connect(function()
	local raycastP = RaycastParams.new()
	raycastP.FilterDescendantsInstances = {Player.Character}
	raycastP.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Exclude
	local hrp : BasePart = Player.Character.HumanoidRootPart
	local t = Instance.new("Part")
	t.Anchored = true
	t.CanCollide = false
	t.Color = Color3.fromRGB(255,0,0)
	t.Material = Enum.Material.Neon
	t.Position = Mouse.HitPosition(raycastP)
	t.Parent = workspace
	local pos2 = t.Position
	local pos1 = hrp.Position
	local distance = (pos1 - pos2).Magnitude
	local desiredDistance = 20
	local center = pos1:Lerp(pos2, desiredDistance / distance)
	local t1 = Instance.new("Part")
	t1.Anchored = true
	t1.CanCollide = false
	t1.Color = Color3.fromRGB(255,0,0)
	t1.Material = Enum.Material.Neon
	t1.Position = center + Vector3.new(0,10,0)
	t1.Parent = workspace
	local currentElapsed = 0
	local moveTime = 2
	local bv = Instance.new("BodyVelocity")
	bv.P = 5000
	bv.Parent = hrp
	while currentElapsed < moveTime do
		currentElapsed += game:GetService("RunService").Heartbeat:Wait()
		bv.Velocity = quadraticBezier(Player.Character.PrimaryPart.Position, t1.Position, t.Position, math.min(1, currentElapsed/moveTime))
	end
	bv:Destroy()
end)

So, I found a way, but it can be very tricky, as it requires you to create a cooldown for the jumps. I based this script in your first and this was the result:

here is the code lol

local Player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer

local userInput = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local Mouse = {}
local RAY_DISTANCE = 1000 
local cam = workspace.CurrentCamera

function Mouse.HitPosition(raycastParams, distance)
	local mousePos = userInput:GetMouseLocation()
	local viewportMouseRay = cam:ViewportPointToRay(mousePos.X, mousePos.Y)
	local rayCastResult = workspace:Raycast(viewportMouseRay.Origin, viewportMouseRay.Direction * (distance or RAY_DISTANCE), raycastParams)
	local hitPosition
	if rayCastResult then
		hitPosition =  rayCastResult.Position
	else
		hitPosition = viewportMouseRay.Origin+viewportMouseRay.Direction * (distance or RAY_DISTANCE)
	end
	return hitPosition
end

local function QuadraticBezier(t,p0,p1,p2)
	return (1-t)^2*p0+2*(1-t)*t*p1+t^2*p2;
end

Player:GetMouse().Button1Down:Connect(function()
	local raycastP = RaycastParams.new()
	raycastP.FilterDescendantsInstances = {Player.Character}
	raycastP.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Exclude
	local hrp : BasePart = Player.Character.HumanoidRootPart
	local t = Instance.new("Part")
	t.Anchored = true
	t.CanCollide = false
	t.Color = Color3.fromRGB(255,0,0)
	t.Material = Enum.Material.Neon
	t.Position = Mouse.HitPosition(raycastP)
	t.Parent = workspace
	local pos2 = t.Position
	local pos1 = hrp.Position
	local distance = (pos1 - pos2).Magnitude
	local center = pos1:Lerp(pos2, 0.5)
	center = center+Vector3.new(0,distance/1.5,0)
	local t1 = Instance.new("Part")
	t1.Anchored = true
	t1.CanCollide = false
	t1.Color = Color3.fromRGB(255,0,0)
	t1.Material = Enum.Material.Neon
	t1.Position = center+Vector3.new(0,distance/1.5,0)
	t1.Parent = workspace
	t1.Name = "testpart"
	for i = 0, 1, 0.01 do
		local targetPosition = QuadraticBezier(i, pos1, center, pos2)
		hrp.CFrame = CFrame.new(targetPosition)
		task.wait()
	end
end)

Can anyone explain bezier curves in the most simple way possible please?

I’ve recently watched a couple videos on Bezier curves and read some articles. I can’t really “explain” since I’m very awful at math, like I legitimately hate it, but anyways, here’s what I can tell you This is the formula for a Quadratic Bezier curve: B(t) = (1-t) Bp0,p1(t) + t Bp1,p2(t) --A Quadratic Bezier has 3 control points --t being the interval, a float between 0 and 1 --p0 being Point0 (mostly the start point) --p1 being the 'curve' point (this is the point which the curvature is …

Added direction

That’s pretty cool, I added facing the mouse direction while jumping…

local Player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local userInput = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local Mouse = {}
local RAY_DISTANCE = 1000
local cam = workspace.CurrentCamera

function Mouse.HitPosition(raycastParams, distance)
	local mousePos = userInput:GetMouseLocation()
	local viewportMouseRay = cam:ViewportPointToRay(mousePos.X, mousePos.Y)
	local rayCastResult = workspace:Raycast(viewportMouseRay.Origin, viewportMouseRay.Direction * (distance or RAY_DISTANCE), raycastParams)
	local hitPosition
	if rayCastResult then
		hitPosition = rayCastResult.Position
	else
		hitPosition = viewportMouseRay.Origin + viewportMouseRay.Direction * (distance or RAY_DISTANCE)
	end
	return hitPosition
end

local function QuadraticBezier(t,p0,p1,p2)
	return (1-t)^2*p0 + 2*(1-t)*t*p1 + t^2*p2
end

Player:GetMouse().Button1Down:Connect(function()
	local raycastP = RaycastParams.new()
	raycastP.FilterDescendantsInstances = {Player.Character}
	raycastP.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Exclude
	local hrp : BasePart = Player.Character.HumanoidRootPart
	local t = Instance.new("Part")
	t.Anchored = true
	t.CanCollide = false
	t.Color = Color3.fromRGB(255,0,0)
	t.Material = Enum.Material.Neon
	t.Position = Mouse.HitPosition(raycastP)
	t.Parent = workspace
	local pos2 = t.Position
	local pos1 = hrp.Position
	local distance = (pos1 - pos2).Magnitude
	local center = pos1:Lerp(pos2, 0.5)
	center = center + Vector3.new(0, distance / 1.5, 0)
	local t1 = Instance.new("Part")
	t1.Anchored = true
	t1.CanCollide = false
	t1.Color = Color3.fromRGB(255,0,0)
	t1.Material = Enum.Material.Neon
	t1.Position = center + Vector3.new(0, distance / 1.5, 0)
	t1.Parent = workspace
	t1.Name = "testpart"
	for i = 0, 1, 0.01 do
		local targetPosition = QuadraticBezier(i, pos1, center, pos2)
		hrp.CFrame = CFrame.new(targetPosition)
		local lookAtPos = Mouse.HitPosition(raycastP)  -- Update look direction
		hrp.CFrame = CFrame.new(targetPosition, Vector3.new(lookAtPos.X, targetPosition.Y, lookAtPos.Z)) -- Face the target
		task.wait()
	end
end)

Is there a way to control the speed? or the height?
I tried it and it seems to work well but its very fast and gravity seems to influence it

lower part of the script … with face part.

    local center = pos1:Lerp(pos2, 0.5)
	center = center + Vector3.new(0, distance / 2, 0)   --jump height
	local speed = 0.005   --jump speed
	local t1 = Instance.new("Part")
	t1.Anchored = true
	t1.CanCollide = false
	t1.Color = Color3.fromRGB(255,0,0)
	t1.Material = Enum.Material.Neon
	t1.Position = center + Vector3.new(0, distance / 2, 0)
	t1.Parent = workspace
	t1.Name = "testpart"
	for i = 0, 1, speed do
		local targetPosition = QuadraticBezier(i, pos1, center, pos2)
		hrp.CFrame = CFrame.new(targetPosition, pos2)
		task.wait()
	end
end)

It’s a bit shaky on them landings (needs work) and needs a debounce set to the whole thing until landed. May even be able to switch animation to a more missile like stance or possibly Humanoid.Platform Stand. Kakazin19010 post is a good start.
