Hi so I recently looked for a sniper simulator and I didn’t found any realistic ones so now I make my own. I often find graphs where you can see where the bullet hits at which zoom and the animation curve looks similar so I thought maybe I could use it my problem is I don’t quite understand how it works so maybe someone could help?
A bullet in a vacuum travels in a parabolic path. In a fluid (air) the parabola is foreshortened by however much you want the air resistance to be.
The downward force acting on the bullet is constant each frame (gravity).
The braking force acting on the bullet is generally proportional to the bullet velocity (wind resistance).
I’m not sure AnimationCurves enter into this at all.
This is my Jetpack Kurt combat mode, which has distant-arcing-downwards bullets:
Here’s the script driving the above bullets:
