I have these bullets that are affected by gravity, and since I don't know I wanted to ask here.
How would I make these bullets turn based on their trajectory? Having them stay the same direction they started looks odd.

what do you mean trajectory? if you mean the x and y speeds you could use an equation using

 (x position) 

and

 (y position) 

to get a new

 (direction) 

It's a bit difficult to explain since I'm not sure about what kind of terms to use but basically,





Unfortunately I'm not experienced enough in math to know how to do that.

hi, theres an equation for this, provided you have an X and Y velocity variable.

point in direction (([atan v] of ((Xvelocity) / (Yvelocity))) + (<(Yvelocity) < [0]> * (180))

youll learn this later, and it may be wrong. Message back if its wrong

That works perfectly, thank you!
