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.

However, that’s probably not what you want to do. What you should be doing, is just using the new AssemblyLinearVelocity property in the same places that you used to be using the Velocity property. Yes, AssemblyLinearVelocity has …
