Projectile Physics - Roblox Scripting Tutorial

[@mrstarfish]

You're one of the best scripting channels I seen, most of the tutorials you upload are things that are so useful that I didn't even think about!(I was going to use bezier curves for my projectile😅) Your tutorials are very helpful to me and many others, Hope you're having a wonderful day!

[@5uphi]

Thank you, I had a very nice day today and I hope you also have a wonderful day

[@yourmomlookslikeurdad6588]

Your voice, your speed, your explanation. It's all perfect.

Absolutely amazing breakdown and pacing, great job explaining everything and not over complicating it.

[@orips]

Wow, I'm surprised youtube recommended this to me. This is amazing! You explained a useful concept that can apply to many things in a extremely simple way, while showing examples and graphs. Amazing!

[@JDevYT]

I was looking for this! I actually tried to program my own physics into Roblox -- however I had no idea I could completely override their physics engine. This is extremely useful, thank you.

[@tempus1232]

Most underrated scripting channel I need, not too simple but not too complicated

[@zechariahcaraballo8765]

exactly I dont know why other scripting channels seem to either be so simple and basic its not even useful and others are so complicated it feels like they dont even know what they are talking about and usually dont explain a thing not nearly as good as this guy, we need more scripting channels like him

[@MaxL8200]

I struggled so much

[@mattc0473]

I was looking for a way to make a curving projectile for my game, this is perfect, its so easy to understand. Thanks man, keep it up!

[@frootloopii]

you came in CLUTCH with my player cannon system!! thank you so much for your videos!!!💪

this is actually a really good tutorial and i never knew learning high school physics can help me understand it more lmao

You can also change the arc by lowering the gravity multiplication and also multiplying the direction by what the gravity is divded by 0.5

[@AlberTesla1024]

To those who didn't understand why he halved the gravity value to get the initial vertical velocity, here is an explanation : Consider the common link between x and y axis movement is time. Suppose to move the ball from point A to point B without gravity is T seconds, without gravity the ball will go straight. But in presence of Gravity we need to give the vertical velocity in such a way that it reaches back to the Point A vertical Position in T time also. Also the time taken by ball to reach the max height is same as time taken by ball to come down from the max height. Hence the final velocity will be zero. the initial upwards velocity can be calculated as : v = u - gt where v = final velocity, u = initial velocity, g = gravity, t = time, total time of flight is T, hence to reach max height it's T/2 and v = 0 at max height. final equation becomes u = gt, where u = gravity * T/2., (this equation is for Y axis) as in roblox the vertical axis is the Y axis.

[@5uphi]

So in short part go up for 50% of the time then part go down for 50% of the time ;)

[@vinsovan9707]

I love the channels that explain what every single line of code does. This is absolute perfection. Also I'm only a 7th grader so do you mind explaining to me how it's possible to subtract vector3s?

[@5uphi]

A vector3 stores 3 numbers for instance 1 vector3 has the values 2, 3, 4 and another vector3 has the values 5, 6, 2 if you subtract these 2 vector3s it's doing 2 - 5, 3 - 6, 4 - 2 and it will create a new vector3 with the values -3, -3, 2

[@C901-p8i]

years! Let know your questions!

[@5uphi]

What's 1 + 1?

[@CartmanRoblox]

Great tutorial! I do have a question (if you'll even respond on a year old video), i want the projectile to curve upward instead of not curving much, would I have to use the first method of duration or is there a way to do it with the final method?

[@kennethkline7702]

I read somewhere that you should always set the parent of a new/cloned part at the very end (after setting any parameters). Is this true, or does the impulse/force & network owner need to be set after the parenting? I just LOVE your tutorials btw!

[@5uphi]

Yes it's better to set the parent at the end and yes some things only work after you have set the parent like impulse and setnetworkowner

[@goreacraft]

brilliant and simple

Hi, thank you so much for the great tutorial! I have a question. I noticed that there is a slight delay between the appearance of the projectile and the beginning of its movement. Do you know how to get rid of the delay?

[@5uphi]

If you do it locally there won't be a delay as the information won't need to travel between your computer and Roblox servers

[@5uphi]

Whats soft production?

[@ManlyCreator]

Thanks so much for actually explaining what you're doing, but I'd like a little bit more knowledge on these systems. What math would you recommend learning to better understand the physics in this game?

[@5uphi]

I personally have never learned math by trying to learn math what I would do in the past is keep reading the code over and over going over each step trying to follow the numbers as they go through the code and understand how each line of code changes the number to get the final value

[@ManlyCreator]

@@5uphi I see, so would you just recommend watching enough tutorials until I have a good grasp of physics?

[@5uphi]

I personally never watched any videos to learn physics

[@Tettzz]

WOAH THANKS

[@aren1709]

great video! but if i can ask (and maybe this is already mentioned but idk), why should the force of the y axis on the projectile half of the gravity? why cant it be other values?

[@5uphi]

If the part starts at a velocity of 0 and gravity is set to -10 after 1 second the part will have a velocity of -10 If I set the parts velocity to 5 after 0.5 seconds the part will have a velocity of 0 and after a total of 1 second will have a velocity of -5 So if it takes one second for the part to get to it's target we set its velocity to 50% of gravity

Great tutorial! I do want to know though how you could implement all this into a tool. I'm trying to make it so that whenever a player clicks somewhere, it'll spawn in the "From" part while "To" stays in the tool. Making it seem as though the player is shooting a projectile towards the spot. Thank you!

Your very welcome

[@dfzoz9032]

I was able to apply drag on my projectiles, but i wanted to get the required initial velocity to travel x distance on a θ angle, but its too much pain trying to get the derivations for velocity, because drag force, which is based on current velocity, changes acceleration, which changes velocity, which changes drag, and so on lol. I saw it can be approximated using some iterations but even that was too hard for me.

[@jackiem6125]

This is so much help. However, how would u go about calculating the angle of the projectile after it is shot (before falling back down)

[@5uphi]

You can use cframe.lookat

[@jackiem6125]

@@5uphi So I'm trying to make a missile launcher (RAM). The launcher needs to point at the angle in which the projectile would launch at. Otherwise the missile would be pointing let's say 90* while the projectile launches at 45* and looks weird. I need I to point at it before launching.

[@5uphi]

I guess you would need to use align orientation constraint and keep updating the cframe so the missile always faces the direction its going in

[@jackiem6125]

@@5uphi How would I supply the align orientation constraints before firing the projectile to make the missile "holder" face the way the missile is going to be launched?
