Re: OT - math question.

y position is not height. Not sure what I was thinking with arc length, but you definitely need the angles associated with the vector from the starting point to the ending point. The relative height is just the z component of that vector.

Treating the movement as along a circle only works if the only component that is changing is the z component. If x or y change (but not both), then it is no longer a circle, but an ellipse.
