    Hello,

    Currently I'm working on a sports game. Right now I'm working on passing. I'm able to pass the ball between players when they don't move. However, when either one moves or when they move both, the ball reaches where the target was, as opposed to where the target will be.

    I'm not sure of the math behind it, but how would I essentially estimate where the ball should be passed to based on the direction the player is going and the speed of the player? I assume that I'd be able to use this whether one player is moving or both.

    I appreciate any help and information.

    Thanks for your time.

    - Keith.

    Looks like I have a lot of reading ahead of me.

    The hacked way I have now is I have a child object that I place ahead of the target. When I pass, the child object becomes the new target, so that way by the time the parent gets there, it meets up with the ball.
