Physics Simulation

Physics properties allow you to simulate realisitic physics

To access these properties, you first need to require the module:

local HomingCast = require(.../HomingCast)

Then, create the properties:

local PhysicsProperties: {} = HomingCast.NewPhysicsProperties()

How does this physics work?

This physics is based on missile's physics

Physics Example

Beware!

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

Everything must be balanced

Here's all properties

Mass

PhysicsProperties.Mass :: number

Mass of the cast

LiftPower

PhysicsProperties.LiftPower :: number

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

YawPower

PhysicsProperties.YawPower :: number

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

DragCoefficient

PhysicsProperties.DragCoefficient :: number

Determines the resistance of the cast in a fluid environment

InducedDragYaw

PhysicsProperties.InducedDragYaw :: number

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

InducedDragPitch

PhysicsProperties.InducedDragPitch :: number

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

ThrustPower

PhysicsProperties.ThrustPower :: number

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

PitchAoA

PhysicsProperties.PitchAoA :: {}

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

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

YawAoA

PhysicsProperties.YawAoA :: {}

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

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

Remember

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

G_Limit

PhysicsProperties.G_Limit :: number

G limit of the projectile

AdditionalForces

PhysicsProperties.AdditionalForces :: Vector3

Additional force which will effect on the cast constantly
