How do I calculate vector x and vector y depending on an angle?

I'm trying to recreate the knockback system from the Super Smash Bros. series, but I'm a little confused as to how I might be able to input a angle that the character has been hit in and depending on knockback speed get sent in that angle with the necessary vector values. Any suggestions?

Do you mean opposite angle?

((180+angle)%360)

That is useful for hitting a surface and getting the angle for that, but I mean like adjusting vector x and vector y to move in a certain angle.

For an example, if a player was hit in a certain direction the velocity would be set accordingly. This is fairly straight forward for 8 basic directions, but I was wondering how I could do the angles inbetween.

Knockback (K) = 100

Left - Vector X: K*-1, Vector Y: K*0

Left Up - Vector X: K*-0.5, Vector Y: K*-0.5

Up - Vector X: K*0, Vector Y: K*-1

Up Right - Vector X: K*0.5, Vector Y: K*-0.5

Right - Vector X: K*1, Vector Y: K*0

Down Right - Vector X: K*0.5, Vector Y: K*0.5

Down - Vector X: K*0, Vector Y: K*1

Down Left - Vector X: K*-0.5, Vector Y: K*0.5

X=100*cos(ang)

Y=100*sin(ang)

For any angle.

X=100*cos(ang)

Y=100*sin(ang)

For any angle.

R0J0hound, I need your help. I need your help. Can you give me your e-mail, I'll ask there. I have a pot and a net. When the basket moves, the net moves very badly. I need to solve this. Can you give your e-mail? My email: sarierdncbov@gmail.com

Seems like this is what I was looking for, much appreciated.

Glad it helped.

Best to create a new topic. Generally I’m unavailable but when I am I’d just skim all the posts and reply to those that interest me, I have time for and I actually can solve. That said there are many other talented people on here that like to help out too. So a new topic is your best bet.
