Physics in Warcraft (TOUGH)

I was wondering if someone could help me out, I'm having a hard time reaching the concept of applying mathmatical formulas such as gravity and other physics in War3. I'm not sure if this is a challange suitable for a 14 year old, but I am in the process of creating a golf map in which the ball is hit into the air and uses actual formulas to determine where it lands and how it looks in the air (flying height). Remeber I am 14, but I have the intelligence of someone older than myself.

Basically the best way of dealing with this kind of thing is to give the ball a velocity in X,Y,Z vectors and have gravity, wind, spin, whatever "accelerate" the ball by periodically changing the vectors. In the case of gravity, you need only change the Z vector, and at a constant rate. Wind you can set up by having a global wind vector, probably only with X and Y components, and maybe varying its magnitude slightly (if you really want to get fussy, anyway). Topspin/Backspin is easy too - it adds to the Z vector a value proportional to the ammount of spin and the magnitude of the speed of the ball in the X and Y directions. Sidespins are a bit harder, as you have to apply the acceleration in a direction perpendicular to the ball's movement.

I dunno if maybe I'm overdoing this a bit... you might just want to do gravity, or just gravity and wind; scripting might get really laggy after a certain amount of dickering with it...

I suppose you could do it, through a mass array of varibles, i am no triggerer - but a psyhics system would take much work, And It's bound be glicthy - or worse yet merely become chance instead of skill. Also, Detecting collison would take even more effort, and probaly would make you want to limit the amnout of doodads..

im 14 too, and i should have the same feelings as u.... i think the triggers u r trying to make aren't gonna be a snap...if i were u, i would never try it....its gonna be a huge waste of time when u make like... one mistake....

Yes... listen, I'm 14, I'm in the math book for the 17's, but I would never do a map of that kind.
Why?
1) It's HARD!
2) It's GOLF! I hate golf!
