Physics

Physics settings are now passed as a third parameter of HomingCast.SpawnProjectile/HomingCast.CreateProjectile methods as a table structure

Physics properties allow you to simulate realisitic physics

How does this physics work?

This physics is based on missile's physics

Beware!

If you use physics, do not set physics properties to extremely high values as it can lead to jittering

Everything must be balanced

Each setting is marked with

• r for direct read permission
• w for direct write permission

Here's all properties

---

Mass [rw] (number)

Mass of the projectile

errors if omitted

Remember

Gravity value must be always negative when passed

---

Gravity [rw] (number)

Gravity of the projectile

Default value is -9.81 if omitted

---

LiftPower [rw] (number)

This is a constant for the lift coefficient. Determines aerodynamic capabilities of the projectile for pitch

errors if omitted

---

YawPower [rw] (number)

This is a constant for the yaw coefficient. Determines aerodynamic capabilities of the projectile for yaw

errors if omitted

---

DragCoefficient [rw] (number)

Determines the resistance of the projectile in a fluid environment

errors if omitted

---

InducedDragYaw [rw] (number)

Determines the resistance of the projectile in a fluid environment when rotating on the yaw axis

errors if omitted

---

InducedDragPitch [rw] (number)

Determines the resistance of the projectile in a fluid environment when rotating on the pitch axis

errors if omitted

---

ThrustPower [rw] (number)

Sets the force which constantly pushes the projectile in its look direction

errors if omitted

---

PitchAoA [rw] ({Value: number, AoA: number})

This is a list which determines the lift coefficient at some angle of attack

errors if omitted

Example

PhysicsProperties.PitchAoA = {
    {["Value"] = -0.12,["AoA"] = -65},
    {["Value"] = -1,["AoA"] = -25},
    {["Value"] = 0,["AoA"] = 0},
    {["Value"] = 1,["AoA"] = 25},
    {["Value"] = 0.12,["AoA"] = 65}
}

Recommendations

Value should be from [-1 to 1]. But you can set to any value you want

How do I get this table?

Use my plugin for this and change the mode to AoA

Read about it here

---

YawAoA [rw] ({Value: number, AoA: number})

This is a list which determines the yaw coefficient at some angle of attack yaw

errors if omitted

Example

PhysicsProperties.YawAoA = {
    {["Value"] = -0.12,["AoA"] = -65},
    {["Value"] = -1,["AoA"] = -25},
    {["Value"] = 0,["AoA"] = 0},
    {["Value"] = 1,["AoA"] = 25},
    {["Value"] = 0.12,["AoA"] = 65}
}

Recommendations

Value should be from [-1 to 1]. But you can set to any value you want

How do I get this table?

Use my plugin for this and change the mode to AoA

Remember

The Value will be smoothed from one to another value based on given angle of attack (pitch / yaw)

---

G_Limit [rw] (number)

G limit of the projectile

errors if omitted

---

Direction [rw] (Vector3)

Determines at what direction the projectile is rotated after launch

errors if omitted

---

AdditionalForces [rw] (Vector3)

Additional force which will effect on the cast constantly

Default value is Vector3.zero if omitted
