Best way to create an aiming guide (trajectory line) for a cannon (angry bird) game

Supersonic9120

Hey guys,

I have searched the forums and cannot seem to find this. There must be an easy way to create an angle aim guide to show which direction to launch your cannon / bird. Previously I used Particles, but I want the aiming guide to pop up immediately such as it does in Angry Birds. Is this a possibility? Can anyone describe how I could do it with SIN COS etc. I do not want to use particles because they take too long to show the direction of aim.

I have an idea on how to accomplish it but currently I cannot seem to figure it out.

You'd need to adapt the same code used to draw a line and add the same math you used for the particle trail. try this template it's free. http://forums.gamesalad.com/discussion/58983/draw-it-my-next-very-accurate-and-efficient-line-drawing-function-for-gamesalad
