Hi Everyone

currently iv been making a spell e-z :The hero go at height "500" than he throw a missile.... This missile should not jump or do arc since the hero is already in the air!!


for this use i have work on Engine to make it for me But there is a problem Its alway jumps!!!


I guess there a special formula for this its should do an oblique From up to down & Down to up : we could call it like a Kind of Bullet system

my code is pretty crappy i guess ..... i would like to not use other people stuff and use mine becuz i made it and i know all code so i know how to modify it. I think this problem require more than only reading and spaming answer : i would like to get feedback after answer from people


p.s. : there is a bug at the end It wont go fully to ground like it should maybe its the formula or condition ?

here is my code so far

If you want just a straight linear projectile, use simple line maths.

lets say your hero is 500 units higher than the target and is 250 units away from the target. You simply decrease the projectile height by 2 units per target (500/250). For a formula you just use a simple line formula y = mx+c where y is the height above ground.

This is the most simple way to get a line but the line will not take into account the distance the projectile travels only the distance from point to point on the ground. For a more realistic version you use 2D trigonometry to work out the hypotonuse of the RAT triangle formed and from that divide by the velocity the thing is moving at to get the time for it to cover that distance. You have a time so you can simply divide its delta height by that to get the average velocty directly downwards. This would mean even a directly virticle shot downwards will still behave properly and have travel time.

Well if you want a curvy fall down, that is also simple and it involves simlar maths although you can no longer rely on an average velocity. You will have to decide how you want it to look.

The easiest is a cos shape, where you simply multiply it by the delta of heights and then add an offset onto its height. The angle inputed you are after is 0 to pi/2 where pi/2 is only obtained at the end. For proper velocity of it it becomes trickier as you have to use the differential of your formula which is -sin instead of cos. That then gives you the gradient, the ratio of height over horozontal movement. You can then inverse tan and use sin and cos to get the multiplyer for its velocity at any point so you can displace it correctly. Ofcourse there is an even better but more complicated way of this to factor in the distance traveled during the time but im tired.

For a parabola you use a quadratic with -(x*factor)^2 and an offset. Then repeate the above with differentiation and stuff.

For a division (x^-1) graph you will probably also have to do some offseting and the incriment into the formula is different, I do not think this is what you are after.

hmm, i see how the first could work but, i would like to try the parabola Could you show me an parabola exemple in gui(base on my code if possible) ? becuz im a lil bit lost atm.....

does it exist a Vector Engine in gui ? becuz im very lost now lol... i ask 1 of my friend that were good vjass Call Wizardum and he didnt succed and have time to help me do it

Thanks for your helps... But you should have link me this http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/spells-569/gui-bullet-arc-missile-system-v1-00-a-157856/ O_O if u change the height its do what i want it to do O_O i will learn about it since i need image to get it

Thanks :D
