How do I make a billiard-like aiming

Looks great. Thanks!

I started a 'snooker' mock. http://snooker.bitballoon.com/

Unfortunately my laptop was stolen so I lost my capx file.

The problem I found was that the way the collisions work its very hard to get accurate aiming. The balls quite often will not react as they should which means you miss alot of pots. After reading into it, it seems its due to the direction of the ball being worked out on the collision once the objects overlap (Slightly after a perfect touch).

Good luck though <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile"> If you get it working well I'd be interested to see

Here are my thoughts -

I think Bullet behavior would be a poor choice for a billiards game, it's very inaccurate. Physics may work a little better as you can set "Collision mask=circle" for balls, but I'm still not sure.

If you want precision, you will need to calculate reflection angles and collision points in advance. Collision points too because a fast moving ball can travel long distances in one tick and if you rely on C2 collision detection, it will also be very inaccurate.

You can also try these plugins:

Thanks for answering!

I have tried to do what you said and behavior of balls became a lot better. Thanks you very much!
