Hey, thanks for reading my post

I'm trying to launch a ball and can't figure out how to do so on a 3d plain. You see, physics and math are on the part of my brain that gets affected my the pot and sharpie fumes. So, please, what i'll need is an easy to read and understand snippet or equation, thanks

well ya see i'd help and all but i kinda have something against guys who smoke pot
don't take it too hard, just remember when i tried the stuff, was there for like 4hours trying to get it to lite.

i learn 2 valuable lessons that day...
1) people don't call things by the right bloody names
2) ceramic doesn't burn without some form of alcohol and/or pertolium based product

right, well, I have no problem making the ball face in the same direction as player, just making it move that way is hard for me to figure out. see here for yourself





see, this is probably all wrong wrong wrong, but I'm new to 3d physics, so it's like... i want to cry and stuff
So please help me out if you got the time

here's something else, I'm using a 3rd person perspective and for some reason when I pitch the camera at just the right angle, usually toward the top of my plater model, the player disappears from the screen along with all other players

Jimmy_has_problem = t
next t
