okay, I will be back in like one hour and I will try your suggestions

I can't find better equation for jump height

#

Think of it in terms of the discrete timestep simulation that happens

#

each frame the object moves by its velocity and its velocity is also reduced by gravity

#

so it's like:

float vel = rb.velocity.y;
float accelerationPerFrame = gravity * Time.fixedDeltaTime;

// the number of frames before it reaches the apex
int numberOfFrames = Mathf.CeilToInt(vel / accelerationPerFrame);

float currentVelocity = vel;
float totalHeight = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < numberOfFrames; i++) {
  totalHeight += currentVelocity * Time.fixedDeltaTime;
  currentVelocity -= accelerationPerFrame;
}

// this is how high it will get!
return totalHeight;```
#

there might be a way to do it without the for loop

#

but I'm not sure

Possibly with a formula similar to https://www.cuemath.com/numbers/natural-numbers-from-1-to-100/
