Hi, in my game, Im making that you can fling yourself AND i want you to be able to bounce from walls, and the direction of the camera affects on the bounce so you can control it, but i dont know trigonometry yet, can anyone help me with this pls?

Any ideas help!

what is this, 1826 and we're still lighting our houses with candles and churning butter by hand? tf 😂

#

you don't even need to go to a library anymore, the library containing everything humanity knows is in your actual pocket

#

AND YOU DON'T KNOW TRIG?

#

wtf

#

how?

#

how is this possible?

#

imagine asking how to learn in the big 2026 when everything humanity knows is at your literal fingertips

#

so u can get the backwards direction

#

then u just multiply it with speed and apply that to a velocity instance

old torrent
#

Store the assembly linear velocity you're moving with before landing and once you land send the player with the same velocity but backwards

#

Or just

#

local v = Vector3.new(10,-10,10)

#

And

#

VelocityToFlingBack = -v

#

And apply it

#

And times it by the unit product between the camera and the velocity backwards

You can just use Raycasting to get the wall Normal and reflect the velocity off it.

#

Put this script in StarterCharacterScripts as a local script.

MMy school is so bad that we still didnt learn abt PI

#

on 2nd grade

#

and

#

wwe learning the basics of fractions

#

or 2nd year idk

Update : I did it

#

what happens if i say "@ here"?

#

it's actually really easy

shell epoch
#

u used math? or other ways?

#

there are other ways that avoids math

shell epoch
#

more likely u would have done it in less than 5 min

#

or sometimes math is needed so were both correct

#

it sounds crazy but chatgpt does a good job at math

shell epoch
#

Use gemini instead if u want 100% no mistakes

whole lion
#

nah the big gpt better at everything than gemini

#

ig gemini is faster but makes way more mistakes

#

just outright tells you wrong things

shell epoch
#

and he faild me

#

he cant make any kind of script right

#

with math or without

#

gemini lowkey understand better and then u use deep think he will make the best results

#

he gets the idea better tho

should I close this post?
