Trajectory of an arrow

Hey guys!

I am working on an archery game and I would like if I could draw a dotted line that would follow the arrow that I would launch.

Something like this:

For the arrow I am using the bullet behaviour with gravity.

Do you know any way I could achieve this?

Thanks in advance!

You could use a dot sprite and spawn an instance of it at the arrow's location (be it origin or image point) every X frames/seconds/etc. Then give it a timer to destroy it, or destroy it at a certain event (depending, if you want it to disappear after some time, or when something else happens).

There might be a better way, though. This one is just off the top of my head.

I want the dotted line to appear before you would launch the arrow...

I could have a second arrow witch would be invisible and every time you would change the trajectory it would launch it, but I am afraid of performance drops on mobile...

I made an example a year or two ago for someone asking a similar question. I ended up making an angry birds type game.

There was a thread last month where someone else was playing with it:

or a better version (but requires ROJOhounds chipmunk physics plugin)

The chipmunk version leaves a trail of dots after each shot - so you know where you aimed previous times. And the chipmunk version preforms better on mobile.

Awesome, thank you!
