Simple Poly Line (to mouse)

It's in radians, not degrees.

PHP Code:

this.angle = random(this.angle-0.261,this.angle+0.261) 


Google "# degrees to radians" if you need help converting.

You can also use degtorad but it's not recommended to use degrees in scripting anyway.

[fowlplay4]

edit: been said, but there is functionality in Graal to convert to and from it.

Functions:

degtorad(degrees)
radtodeg(degrees)

I.e:

this.angle = random(this.angle - degtorad(15), this.angle + degtorad(15));

oh, i guess i learn somethign every day XD

You need the points to the left and the right of the line, not in front of it, so you have to subtract 90 degrees, or pi/2 radians.

PHP Code:

function degtorad(temp.d) {
  return temp.d*pi/180;
}

function radtodeg(temp.r) {
  return temp.r*180/pi;
} 


For anyone interested.

A degree is a value between 0 and 360, which we can write as [0,360].
A radian is a value between 0 and 2*pi, which we can write as [0,2*pi].

This is how degtorad would work:

• Start with [0,360].
• Divide by 360, and get to [0,1].
• Multiple by 2pi, and get to [0,2*pi].

(The way I wrote it in the code was divide by 180 then multiple by pi. Same thing.)

radtodeg would just be the opposite.

Also worth noting, 0 points to the right, and positive values rotate counterclockwise.

Someone really needs to go through forum posts, categorize them, and organize them into a tutorial/documentation.

New problem, move() only works first time then stops.. any particular reason behind this?

PHP Code:

function onMouseDown() {
  this.nx = x;
  this.ny = y;
  for ( i=0; i<3; i++ ) {
    this.angle = random(this.angle-0.522,this.angle+0.522); // angle
    this.distance = random(2,5); // distance
    this.nx2 = this.nx + sin(this.angle) * this.distance;
    this.ny2 = this.ny + cos(this.angle) * this.distance;
    move(x, y, x+5, y+5);
    DrawLine(2000+i, this.nx, this.ny, this.nx2, this.ny2);
    this.nx += sin(this.angle) * this.distance;
    this.ny += cos(this.angle) * this.distance;
  }
}

You can't stack moves on top of eachother like that. Use the option that gives an event when finished (8? check scripthelp) and in the onMovementFinished (if I recall correctly) event call move again.

[scriptless]

so something like

PHP Code:

function newmove() {
  if ( this.moved == false ) move(..);
  this.moved = true;
}

function onMovementFinished() {
  this.moved = false;
  newmove();
} 


is what your saying?

[fowlplay4]

move doesn't work like that.

TServerNPC.move(float, float, float, int)
- moves the npc smoothly
- parameters:
delta x,
delta y,
time
options: cache type (0, 1-cache, 2-append) + blockcheck(4) + eventwhendone(8) + applydir(16)

move(dx, dy, time, flags);

I.e:

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function moveTo(tx, ty) {
  // Delta = Final - Initial
  temp.dx = tx - this.x;
  temp.dy = ty - this.y;
  temp.speed = 1; // Tiles per second
  temp.time = getDistance(this.x, this.y, tx, ty) / temp.speed;
  move(temp.dx, temp.dy, temp.time, 8); 
}

function onMovementFinished() {
  // Your other code..
}

function GetDistance(temp.x1, temp.y1, temp.x2, temp.y2) {
  temp.toreturn = (temp.x2 - temp.x1) ^ 2 + (temp.y2 - temp.y1) ^ 2;
  return (temp.toreturn) ^ .5;
}

  return (temp.toreturn) ^ .5;
} 


hmm.. interesting i should have looked up syntax earlier lol.. i thought i was doing it strange.. but still would i do similar to how i posted before because of using move() wrong without the check if movement ended.. ?

Your earlier code looks to me like it'd go on forever.

newmove -> onMovementFinished -> newmove -> onMovementFinished -> newmove -> ...

If you only want to do it a certain amount of times, you could track it in a this variable which you start at say, 3, and then decrease every time the movement is finished.

[scriptless]

it looks like i have alot more scripting to do haha .. oh well im bored anyways

yeah it's only suspose to plan 3 moves and then move the paths.. then im gonna need onwall checks .. gah


tho technically it's supose to continiously move.. maybe randomly pause a second or 2.. lol

move() is the worst interpolation system EVER created.

When I get my main CPU back, I'll write a REAL interpolation system. I've already written one for Delteria, and it looks lightyears ahead of "move" and reduces server strain a lot. A .25 timeout looks just as good as a .05, and you don't have to deal with using that ****ty move() command where if you change your direction during the middle of the movement, it jumps around. You just do movement like normal, and set a certain attr to a certain value. Easy.
