Question by helloiam · Mar 23, 2013 at 10:04 PM · movesmoothballshootbomb

Shoot a bomb to mouse position smooth

I want to make that when I shoot that a sphere which I made goes smooth to my mouse position so like a cannon that is shooting, what I made yet is that it goes to my mouseposition but it's not like shoot it goes directly.

 void shootInput()
     {
         cannonShot.Play();
 
         journeyLength = Vector3.Distance(spot.position, pos);
 
         float distCovered = (Time.time - startTime) * 20f;
         float fracJourney = distCovered / journeyLength;
 
         depth = 15f;
 
         pos = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay(Input.mousePosition).GetPoint(depth);
 
         Rigidbody ball = Instantiate(cannonBall, spot.position, Quaternion.identity) as Rigidbody;
 
         //ball.rigidbody.MovePosition(Vector3.Lerp(spot.position, pos, fracJourney));
 
         ball.rigidbody.AddRelativeForce(Vector3.left * 20000000000f);
 
         cannonTop.transform.LookAt(pos);
     }

Please help me and aks question if you didn't understood me.

try lowering the force value at

 ball.rigidbody.AddRelativeForce(Vector3.left * 20000000000f);

from 20000000000 to something like 200.

Some questions :

What exactly happens, and from what is spot.position the position?

What I want to do is shoot forward with the cannnon and hit other objects what is falling down on screen.

It is working if I work with ( ball.rigidbody.MovePosition(Vector3.Lerp(spot.position, pos, fracJourney)); ), but what it does then it creates direct a cannonball on my mouse position.

What I want is that when I click that it goes from a beginning point which is in front of the cannon and then it's shooting from my cannon to my mouse position (of course when I click). And of c oouse the ball is going smooth like it's shooting to my mouse position, my code does a little but it needs more work but hopefully you guys can help me out with this issue, thank you all!

Did you even read my answer/question? Do you have an empty gameObject in front of you cannon where you can spawn the the projectile ?

and what about the spot.position question ?

spot.position is the begin position so where the projectiles must spawn, take a look of this picture: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/69/bombc.png/
