Formulas used in Triggers

[BUP]

I've been really suck at creating smooth(motion/moving) spells.
I think I might need some formulas.
Please post the formulas you know.
I'll rep!!

Do you want it to move in a straight line ?

 

[BUP]

Not straight,
Formulas for flying heights...and others

 

[defskull]

You must specify what kind of "motion" you want.
Don't just mention "others".

Also, flying heights ???
Flying height doesn't have formula, lol.

Here is a tutorial to learn about how to make an arc with math, it's great for curve balls, spins, grenade throws, anything where you use an arc wether horizontally or vertically.

PS: It's easier than it looks just need to take your time with it.

You do know that formula/application used in programming is different when applied via Mathematics/Physics ?

Which in this case if you want an object (dummy) to move in a circular motion around a center, all you need to do is to have a fixed offset range, and just gradually increase/decrease the angle between Origin to the Object Angle.

That requires you to have a fixed point for your unit to move in an arc (though it's probably the easier way).

Using real formulas you can find any point as you go without needing to "remember" any points.

And though the application of those formulas isn't the same as on a piece of paper it's not different in any way.
