How to make a Missile follow a path?

Asked by

5 years ago

I am trying to make a nuclear missile that follow a path that is modeled like the projectile equation: h(t) = 16^2+vt+h. I also want the missile's orientation to follow the path as well. I have used a script found here: scriptinghelpers.org/blog/modeling-a-projectiles-motion The problem is that I can't really mess with how high the projectile goes without sending the projectile into space or completely missing the target.

01local t = 1;
02local mouse = game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse();
03local hrp = game.Players.LocalPlayer.CharacterAdded:Wait():WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart");
04local bball = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Handle");
05 
06mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
07    local g = Vector3.new(0, -game.Workspace.Gravity, 0);
08    local x0 = hrp.CFrame * Vector3.new(0, 2, -2)
09 
10    -- calculate the v0 needed to reach mouse.Hit.p
11    local v0 = (mouse.Hit.p - x0 - 0.5*g*t*t)/t;
12 
13    -- have the ball travel that path
14    local c = bball:Clone();
15    c.Velocity = v0;
16    c.CFrame = CFrame.new(x0);
17    c.CanCollide = true;
18    c.Parent = game.Workspace;
19end)

It would be helpful to me if the variables included: Target Position and Speed as well as the recommended speed to go over 2000 studs

99% sure this is a troll. and this isn't your code. fistter1 88 — 5y

You are right it isn't my code I linked where I got the script in the question TheWiseAndGreat 50 — 5y

It is an arc projectile as what i say cherrythetree 130 — 5y
