Post Body

I want to be able to launch an anvil in the direction a player is facing. I'm not sure if I'm going about this the complete wrong way.

Currently, I am storing the horizontal and vertical angles in scoreboard commands, but I am having trouble converting it into x and z motion tags for the anvil.

The only way I can think of doing it involves trig equations, Hypotenuse = 1 (Resultant vector), x^2 z^2=1, x/z are solvable with cosine and sine of the horizontal angle. This is incredibly hard to do in minecraft, as far as I can tell, so I need either a solution or an easier way to accomplish this.

Can anyone help?
