Show where the character will land, or where an enemy's leap ends

Shadows, aiming marks and enemy jumps all need to know the landing point before it happens. The usual guess is off when the ground is higher or lower, or when going up is not the same as coming down. Here is the exact way.

Why this works

A jump is two simple pieces, a rise and a fall, and each can be worked out on its own. Splitting it that way gives the right answer even when going up and coming down are not the same, and says honestly when the target is out of reach.

When not to use it

Skip it when the player can steer a lot in the air, or the wind and other forces keep changing the path. The marker would be wrong most of the time. Then show nothing or only a rough area and let the player judge.
