getangle questions

[wild8900]

So, how would I use getangle? What type of number does it put out? Does it get an angle of 0-360? 0-3?
And, if I wanted to make an npc look in the direction of the player, how would I use this?

getangle() returns the radian angle (between 0 and 6.28318530...).

For an npc to face a player, use

NPC Code:

---

dir = getdir( playerx - x , playery - y );

---

getangle(dx,dy), where
dx is the change in x coordinates points between the two points
dy is the change in y coordinates points between the two points

oh, makes sense. I did
dir = getdir( playerx - x , playery - y );
but instead of getdir i used getangle and it didnt work.

Thanks this cleared up alot of questions

Yeah because getdir returns a direction (0-3) and getangle returns an angle(0-6.28).
