Jump to targetted point

[gastrop0d]

Okay, this is really melting my brain...

I've got a player position and a target location. I want to have it so you can trigger a jump from the player to the target that has a maximum speed S, and a minimum angle O.

Target location is a simple raytrace of where ever the player is aiming.

If the target is too far away, the result jump will just be a jump at speed S and angle 45 (ie the maximum possible jump distance).

The jump must always at least be at angle O.

I basically failed projectile-motion in physics class... any idea how to implement something like this?

Check the code for ogre firing grenades. It can give you some clue about how to do this jump.
