How to trace at detail a trajectory on a canvas

Hello,

I am shooting a bullet up at -45 angel and let it fly with gravity and am plotting a parabola of its trajectory on a canvas.

at every tick i am creating 1 pixel line at the location of the bullet -- and it indeed traces the flight path -- however, i notice that the trace is discontinuous -- many disconnected dots in particular as the bullet accelerates further ...

Is there a way to actually create a smooth path -- looks like the redraw algorithm is more detailed than each tick.

thanks,

Dan

You can enable stepping in Bullet properties, and use "On Step" event to draw dots - this will create 5-10 more dots per tick. You can also draw lines between dots.

Thanks!

I will check out the stepping.

I didn't want to "fall back" onto drawing lines because it would take away from the smoothness of the curve and hence its "real" nature

Looks like physics and bullet have overlapping functionality -- i like gravity that it enables creating an impact force ... which bullet doesn't have ...

But, only bullet has on step ...

oh well ...

Yeah, don't use Physics with other behaviors like Bullet.

You probably need to interpolate a curve between points, maybe R0J0hound could help you with this.
