move dx,dy,time,options;
 

x.x This command is STRANGE >:O

move dx,dy,time,options

time = speed / dist;

Well in graal thats not the case, something is wrong.. :\

NPC Code:

---

if (created) {

  this.speed = 2;

  this.options = 1;

  Move();

}

function Move() {

  dx = int(random(-5,5)*2)/2;

  dy = int(random(-5,5)*2)/2;

  dist = (dx*dx+dy*dy/)^0.5;

  time = this.speed/dist;

  move dx,dy,time,this.options;

  sleep time+0.1;

  Move();

}

---

Nice little snippet that doesnt work properly, it either goes really slow or really fast, and it has confused Chrisz. I want the speed to work like... normal?? x.x;

Re: move dx,dy,time,options;
 

Silly Chrisz, isn't time distance devided my speed o.O

Re: Re: move dx,dy,time,options;
 

Yes, it is.

I don't think anyone has really put any good use into the command move other than the Kingdoms furniture movement system. Atleast, that is the only thing I have saw that uses it well.

Uh...you mean...2k1's villa furniture movement system...

2k2's just warps it to the new location when you move it with the mouse...

Never seen it :\ .


It sures looks like it uses move to me. But then again, I haven't seen it since it was first realesed considering I never play Kingdoms. Are you sure about what you said Tseng? I can almost remember it perfectly, but I could be wrong.

Um, I'm moving furniture around right now. It warps it.

2k1's uses the move command.

move is pretty useful, and still, time is distance divided by speed. Otherwise, you would arrive earlier if you travelled farther.

Then it used to use the move command. I am almost 100% sure it did.

Why on earth would you use the move command when it just reloactes it? Move is not used and if it were, it isn't necessary.

The 2k1 villa system uses move...it adds a nice effect. :)

Because it looks cool, dude.

Just to show off a little ;)


I think Stefan was very clever in his design of move options, showstats and other similar functions. He relied on the linear independance of x,x^2,...x^n to guarantee that no matter what combination of options you choose, you never get two that have the same sum.

Props also to Kai, for I recall he used the same property for one of his scripts.

It's pretty fundamental thing in Computer Science, of course. The move options are equivalent to a one-byte flag with individual bits representing different options (though the concept is clearer in enablefeatures).

I suppopse it would be, but to a mathematician, its something you don't see until late sophomore or early junior year.

Hey, I did it before to!

No? I would think it would be obvious as soon as the person is taught about different numeric bases. Personally I invented the principle for myself when I was working on a VB project four years ago ^_^

Well, linear independance of sets, and set theory at all, for that matter, isn't discussed at all until college. In fact, I would be surprised if any pure mathematics beyond geometry is taught anywhere in the USA's K-12 educational system.

Perhaps so; I wasn't taught true set theory until partway into my CS degree. On the other hand, set theory is just a way to describe the property in a formal fashion. You can understand it intuitively without being able to represent it mathematically.

We have Trig and Calc in my highschool, dude.

Calculus is an applied math. Calculus is the math behind a great deal of physics and engineering. Admittedly, geometry is too, but the proofs learned in geometry are pure math.

As for trig, well it is an applied math too. All sorts of physical things like sextants are based on trigonometry.

So, you're saying calculus and trig just tell you how to apply what you already know?

Wow, you guys are getting too deep into math =p
I forgot about the move command o_O... perhaps it will actually be less laggy and more efficient in a baddy.... [ponder]...[/ponder]
I don't really like doing things that move, and I've been meaning to make a baddy forever, but everytime I start I hate it... Maybe move would be beneficial XP.

It's a fuzzy line to be sure, but basically, pure math consists of things, like proofs, which have absolutely no relation to reality. Was it Hardy who said that the less math has to do with reality the more beautiful it becomes? Applied maths are basically things, like calculus, that you can use in word problems.

I don't like such definitions. If somebody suddenly found a practical use for an area of pure maths, would it suddenly become applied? Maths shouldn't be classified by how it is used.

For something like a baddie you end up using the move command just like setting the x and y positions. Contact me on AIM if you want a script I made using the move command like you want to.

:grin:

Actually that has happened. Boolean algebra lay useless for about a century until computers were invented.

Also, tell that to the mathematicians. Pure mathematicians have a tendency to look down their noses at applied mathematicians like myself. And applied mathematicians tend to wonder why you need more than one way to prove that the square root of two is irrational.

Man, mathematicians are dorks. I'm glad I jumped off that train when I did.

*ponders*

Is being called a dork by a geek a good thing or a bad thing? Lol.

Is it a cool thing, like being called a mf by George Carlin?

[edit] Yes, Kai you are a geek. If you are the best scripter in any computer language you automatically qualify as a computer geek. Hooray for geeks :D [/edit]:

Complex mathmatics are pointless to majority of people. Good thing there are people like Kai to bug ;)

*cough cough*

;)

This thread has explained why I don't plan on learning a ton more about math after high school, and why I intend to forsake the computer world aside from graphics all around. :grin:

*hasnt read all the posts* yes i know t = s/d but tried lots of things :(.. so i moved them around and stuff :P but we got it fixed... :)... weird command..

Are you truely retarded? All it does it moves it from point A to point B, almost instantly. How does that look cool?

Tseng: It did add a nice effect to the Villa, but for why would it be used for GK?
