if you want it to be wavy you could use sine or cosine in your formula
or use parabola for curves
I dunno if that's what yer asking for =/ (a,b and c can have any values depending on the curves u want and value of x increases or decreases in order to create a wavy line) |

first you find the distance between between you and your target. Then the X difference and Y difference. Divide the distance by missile speed, you get number of steps in while your missle will reach its target. Now divide each of the differences on each axis by that number of steps. Thats by how much your missile should move along each axis in turn. |
