Pool Table Help - Shot Line

Games
#1

Hi All,

        Does anyone have an example or an idea of how I can input an aiming line of the white ball. Another aiming line would also come off the first ball you’re aiming at to give you a rough indication of where the ball will go.

It seems really complicated and I can’t even begin to work out where to start. I’ve used the simple pool tutorial to get the first line in place… the cue which also acts as the power. Just need a line to show you where the white ball is going to go and also where the first ball it hits is going to go.

Many Thanks,
