Question

Im trying to determine where a “shot” will hit the wall from a position and an angle.
The player shoots a ball from a certain point with a certain angle towards a wall. And I want to be able to determine if the ball will hit within the bounds of the goal.

This is what i know:

origin: the ball’s coordinates

length: the distance to the wall

angle: the angle of the shot

This is what i want to calculate:

point: the position the ball will have when it hits the wall

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

unless i’m missing something:

point y = origin y + length
point x = origin x - length * tan(angle)
