Hey!

I am doing a platformer in Unity where you can throw grenades. So it´s not obvious where the grenade will land etc.
I want to make a "preview" where the grenade will fly.
Is there an easier way then simulating the grenade shot every single update?

I hope this is the right subforum.

Thanks in advance!

If you only have gravity act on it you could just draw the trajectory since its a simple quadratic curve without actually simulating.

After some research i got an answer. I will break it down into some segments.
like simulating 200ms each segment. i hope my android phone got enough cpu power for this ;)

It might be also possible to "ray"cast with the algorithm for the path somehow, it might woek smoother.
