Fancy twirling lights

[Zigidias]

Well, I was wondering... How do you make those fancy twirling lights. I'm not asking for a full script, just a tip on how to make them twirl in those circles and fancy lines how they do on some servers.

I thought it was something with arrays, I am not great with trig, can you give me an example, I am halfway done with algebraII right now

algebra II includes advanced Trig in my curriculum. O.o, Learn about Radians and Sin, Cos, Tan, and their inverses.. It will do you some good to know them.

Ok, thanx, mayb i can get my hands on a full working script from someone later. I can learn from looking at stuff pretty easy.

try this script to see what each function does

NPC Code:

---

while (1==1) {

  i+=.1;

  showpoly 0,{x,y,x+sin(i),y};

  message #v(i);

  sleep .05;

}

---

It should give you a good idea of how they work.

Wow, It took a second to get but I think I understand. Thanx, I still dont understand sin all the way but I will expiriement with this.

Thanx

PI=3.14;

while (1==1) { i+=0.1;

showpoly 0,{x,y,x+sin(i)*PI,y+cos(i)*PI};

sleep .05;

}

try this script,maybe would help...
Someone posted a site with things about trigonometry, search for it. =)

OMG osrs, that is exactly what i needed, thank you very much

why bother using pi as a radius...pi is usually the radian
