Title: TransformMoveProjectile
Post by: skipadu on April 03, 2018, 04:11:01 PM

In the Playmaker's Slack-channel question was made how to move projectile in an arc without using physics.

I found a great post from the Unity's forum (https://forum.unity.com/threads/throw-an-object-along-a-parabola.158855/#post-1087673) by Stephan-B. So this action is almost the same, only with some slight modifications.

---

• You set the start position for the projectile.
• Set destination for the projectile
• Give angle for movement
• Set gravity; bigger gravity -> more speed
• Set the actual projectile that will be moved
• Set event to send when movement is ready (optional)
• Give variable to store the distance travelled (optional)

Waiting to be merged to Ecosystem's repository.

Sorry for the double post ;)

Also might be good to include a vector destination that can be used? (either in offset or in place of target?)

*EDIT: Also! Looking at the code it *looks* like it should be rotating to the direction of movement, but doesnt look like it is? xD
