library VerticalJump uses AutoIndex


//=================================================================
//                  HOW TO USE ?
//=================================================================
//
//  function ThrowUnitToAir takes unit u, real velocity returns nothing
//
//     -This is used to throw unit in to the air
//
//
//  function SetUnitGravity takes unit u, real gravity, returns nothing
//
//    - this can be used to change untis gravity
//    - use it only after you have called ThrowUnitToAir
//

Am I doing the maths right for this system? I use this system for vertical jumps only.

local integer Max = Count
local real Hei = 500
local real Raise = ( ( Max + 1 - Count ) / Max )
local real Fly = ( Hei * Raise ) - ( Hei * Raise * Raise )
call SetUnitFlyHeight(d.target,Fly,0.0)

If you want the height to be based on the distance, simply change Hei to ( DistanceBetweenPointsBJ * 2 ) for instance
