I am trying to write a game with artillery mortar fire I have another gun adjusting & firing towards the mouse, but would like to switch weapons.
I am having problems with how to fire a shell up in a curved arc and have it come back down on a target (the mouse position).
I have searched for some thing like what I'd like, but can't find anything.
This code is for my player gun rotating and firing toward the mouse:
