why doesn't the shooting trajectory work as expected - It should go in an arc towards the rim but instead it just shoots off into some random place

[dusk bay]

hmm you didn't use function which named ComputeProjectileVelocity :?

It should go in an arc towards the rim but instead it just shoots off into some random place
i guess .w.

@dusk bay wait what

can you explaine

[dusk bay]

hmm
ComputeProjectileVelocity looks notthing wrong
maybe your startpos or targetpos wrong :?

[wintry ginkgo]

huh

@dusk bay wym

[dusk bay]

function ComputeProjectileVelocity(startPos, targetPos, maxHeight)
    local direction = targetPos - startPos
    local horizontal = Vector3.new(direction.X, 0, direction.Z)
    local distance = horizontal.Magnitude
 
    local gravity = math.abs(workspace.Gravity)
    local heightDifference = targetPos.Y - startPos.Y
    local peakHeight = math.max(heightDifference + 2, maxHeight) -- ensures arc clears target
 
    local timeUp = math.sqrt((2 * peakHeight) / gravity)
    local timeDown = math.sqrt((2 * (peakHeight - heightDifference)) / gravity)
    local totalTime = timeUp + timeDown
 
    local velocityY = math.sqrt(2 * gravity * peakHeight)
    local velocityXZ = horizontal.Unit * (distance / totalTime)
 
    return Vector3.new(velocityXZ.X, velocityY, velocityXZ.Z)
end```
your startPos and targetPos is true :?

basically i checked and i saw some problems..
The problem i think it was.. about shotclockbanner2 variable is redundant as it references the same object as shotclockbanner...

so i removed shotclockbanner2 and updated the code to use only the shotclockbanner.

@wintry ginkgo

[wintry ginkgo]

so a variable is what is causing my shooting animation to bug out @lucid spear

[lucid spear]

maybe idk

[lucid spear]

i think yea

[mighty spindle]

show recording of this bug?

** You are now Level 2! **

[mighty spindle]

that's not a recording

[wintry ginkgo]

did you click on it?

I don't have anything better.

[mighty spindle]

a 1.21kb file is not a recording, i dont need to click it. bcpf is your project file, it contains no video or audio within it.

no one has access to the files on your local pc so no one can open it, except for you
