Predict the hit position
I have a cannon that shoots a cube right now at an angle of 45 degrees. Now I wanna calculate the position the cube is going to land from the moment the cube gets instantiated. I really don't know how to do this. Can anyone help or give some tips.
Thx already
As long as only gravity is acting on the cube, it should follow the general rules of Projectile $$anonymous$$otion. If you know the cube's initial speed and firing angle, you can calculate the distance it will travel using the projectile motion equations. Then, as long as you know the direction the cannon is facing, as say an angle from the positive x-axis, you can convert that to x-y coordinates, which will be the landing position.
If you are using rigid bodies, SweepTest might work for you.
