Code: //bounce = speed + 2dot(normal,-speed)normal, while speed = distance vector to target, normal = target surface normal. vec_set(tempV1, tempGun); vec_scale(tempV1, -1); tempV2 = vec_dot(normal, tempV1); vec_set(tempBounce, normal); vec_scale(tempBounce, tempV2 * 2); //new Bounce Is this even remotely close to correct? Thanks, Don have a great day Last edited by Gumby22don; 05/22/09 04:42.

I didn't add the original speed vector to it, - real code now looks like this: Code: vec_set(tempV1, tempGun); vec_scale(tempV1, -1); tempV2 = vec_dot(normal, tempV1); vec_set(tempBounce, normal); vec_scale(tempBounce, tempV2 * 2); vec_scale(tempV1, -1); //back to speed vec_add(tempBounce, tempV1); //add speed to 2dotnormal. //new Bounce Hope this helps someone.
