Okay, I have a request for a very simple script request. I just need a script for a pendulum that wings back and forth. Something like in this video: http://www.youtube.c...h?v=-ymnNVJW7Qg Thanks to whoever does it.

There is a parabola script, by slowing it down the closer it gets to certain x positions with a low arced parabola, it should mimic a pendulum.

Are you after it slowing down at the top of the swing too?

Seeing as SHM is accurately defined, it shouldn't be too difficult.

I *think* this should work:

CODE

float x = 0;
float y = 0;
float angle = 0;
float speed = 3; // or stuff
float norm = 0.2; // ...n stuff

angle += speed - Abs(Sin((angle + speed)) * speed) + Abs(Cos((angle + speed))) + norm;

x = anchor_x + Sin(angle) * dist;
y = anchor_y + Abs(Cos(angle)) * dist;
        

PARABOLA BEAM!!

Thanks Gleeok! I'll try that out.
