Question by OneCode-Official · Nov 16 at 04:33 PM · physicsrigidbody2dphysics2d

How much force does my 2d ball need to fly from point A to B ?

In the picture you can see how one of my shoot could look. The player is able to shoot in all directions but I don't get which exact Force I need when gravity is ablied.

The search term you want is parabolic trajectory. That will give you a ton info on how to calculate various aspects of that topic.

At one point we built a kit to help this topic but didn't get much interest ... if I can find that old code I can share it but as I recall it wasn't as hard as it first sounds.

The problem is that there's an infinity of different paths the player could send the ball that would pass through point B. If you fire it with an extremely large force, you can basically shoot straight at it.

You can limit the time it will take to reach B, or the maximum starting velocity, or the angle, but you need to give more information on what do you want the ballistic trajectory to look like.

After that, it's basically simply looking for a parabola that passes through two points, it's an easy mathematically problem.

I would like the ball to reach that point after like 1 second. I don't want that it flies to high. I would be good if it nearly flies straight.

Can you give me some example or something please?
