Is there a way to show how large a force is?

Is there a way to show how large the force is, on a texture plane with a gradient?

I have this script to throw a ball:

var cannonball : Transform; var speed : float = 500; // speed is power per second var powermax : float = 5000; var powermin : float = 100; var autoThrow : boolean = true;

function Update() { 
 if (Input.GetButtonDown("Fire1")) StartCoroutine("Cook"); }

// This is a co-routine. // I used the term "to cook a grenade" as popular in many action games. function Cook() { var power : float = powermin;

 while (Input.GetButton("Fire1"))
 {
     var move = speed * Time.deltaTime;
     power = Mathf.MoveTowards(power, powermax, move);

     if (autoThrow &amp;&amp; power == powermax) 
         break;
     else 
         yield;
 }

 Shoot(power);

function Shoot(power : float){ var projectile = Instantiate(cannonball, transform.position, transform.rotation); projectile.rigidbody.AddForce(transform.right * power); Physics.IgnoreCollision(projectile.collider, collider); }

What do you mean "How far the force is?" Do you want a line representing the magnitude of the force (easy). Do you want a projected intersect point on the plane? (easy if the plane is perpendicular or there is no gravity, more difficult if gravity is involved) Or do you want a curved path representing the path of the object (serious labor)? If you help, you need to be very clear about exactly what you want help with...

Ok I mean a line representing the magnitude of the force.If I hold the mouse button the line goes up to $$anonymous$$ax.power on a plane or between two game objects.
