The discussion revolves around calculating the vertical component of velocity (Vy) for a projectile that must clear an obstruction (a wall) while still reaching a target at a specified horizontal distance (X2). Participants explore the relationship between the initial velocity components, the trajectory of the projectile, and the constraints imposed by the wall's height and the target's position.
Participants express differing views on how to approach the problem, with no consensus on a single method or solution. Some participants agree on the importance of time and trajectory equations, while others question the feasibility of certain assumptions and the need for trigonometry.
Participants note that the problem may involve complexities due to the variable nature of X1 and X2, and there are unresolved mathematical steps regarding the relationship between the components of velocity and the projectile's trajectory.

Are you the guy that commented on my YouTube video?J0TA said:What do you do in the "ect"? I'm trying to make a tennis game and i was trying to understand how dows this works but it is hard... If you could help me I would appreciate it very much!
I don't wat to pressure you and hope you recovered fine but are you still going to share your project? It would help me a lot!tchpowdog said:Are you the guy that commented on my YouTube video?
The "etc" part is solving for Y (which gives you the magnitude of the force needed). I will try to zip my Unity project up and send it to you somehow. It will be later today or tomorrow. I am having surgery in about 2 hours, so I will be in pain for a while.

You didn't replied for a month... if you see this pleeeeese send me your Unity progect to joaonunodiasleitao@gmail.com! I tried to recriate it but i coundn't make the same effect... Hope you recovered well from your surgery!tchpowdog said:Are you the guy that commented on my YouTube video?
