  Ballistic TrajectoryCode: Angle = math.atan(math.pow(Vel, 2))±(math.sqrt(math.pow(Vel,4)-SceneMan.GlobalAcc.Y(SceneMan.GlobalAcc.Y)(math.pow(target.Pos.X,2))+2(target.Pos.Y)(math.pow(Vel,2)))/(SceneMan.GlobalAcc.Y)(target.Pos.X) Could this work if Vel was the Velocity that the projectile was shot out at, the Target was within range, and Angle was the angle that the canon was shot at? Or did I do it wrong? I'm not good with complex equations like this. By the way, I based it off this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trajectory_of_a_projectile#Angle_.CE.B8_required_to_hit_coordinate_.28x.2Cy.29   |

Re: Ballistic Trajectory assuming CC measures length in meters, velocity in m/s, and acceleration in m/s^2, it should work
substitute meters with any other unit of length of course, just as long as these three are proportional in the same way edit: you need the arctan, not the tangent |
