Math help!

I want to make a unit glide to 100 units flying height.

Well the trick is, I want it to reach 100 units only when it is reaches it's target.

How can I make a calculus that somehow calculates the distance the unit needs to descend every second, based on it's movement speed and flying height?

Will this do?

• Animation - Change Unit's flying height to 200.00 at (((Distance between (Position of (Unit)) and (Position of (Target))) / (Current movement speed of (Unit))) x (Current flying height of (Unit)))

You want the unit to glide with a constant ascent?
Then you need to increase flying height by 'Max Height / (Distance / speed)' every period.

Example: max height = 300 (the end), Distance = 600 and speed = 20.
Then you need to increase fly height by 10 every interval.

You got it wrong. I want to glide downwards, not fly upwards.

Same thing. Switch the word "increase" by "decrease" in my previous post .
(It actually becomes '(Current Height - End Height) / (Distance / speed)', but that's the same thing - it just accounts for a non-zero end height as well).

Thank you!
