this.angle

[FreakyQueen]

im trying to get a weapon to activate when you click the mouse and fire itself on a path towards your mouse co-ordinates on click. ive seen some mention of this.angle, and i think this is what i need.
tell me,1) how do i use this.angle for angling weapons? 1a)what calculations to i need to make? 1b)how do i move the weapon on the angle? 2)is the angle value of a 360 degree circle?

I am not sure what you mean, correct me if I am wrong.

1) 'this.angle' is not something predefined. You have to give a value to this.angle. I am assuming that you are probably thinking of using 'this.angle' with a shoot command.

1a) There is a 'getangle' command which you can use to 'get' the angle you want:

getangle(delta x,delta y)

In this case you can use:

this.angle = getangle(mousex-playerx, mousey-playery);

1b) I am not sure what you mean with that .

2) The graal scripting engines generally uses radians rather than degrees.

ah, so its not predefined! thanks. (1b assumed it was predefined) i had seen parts of scripts where this.angle was used, and assumed it was predefined.

this.angle = getangle(mousex-playerx, mousey-playery);

i had tried doing a simliar operation with the 2 seperate variables.. sounds like it was just bad programming not misunderstasnding of the language . thanks for your help.
