equation for time

[RedFox4]

hey everyone just need a quick bit of help i've been trying to come up with an equation but am failing :banghead:.....the equation would be simple. it would take the distance between 2 points (a unit and a point of an ability) and it would calculate a time for how long it will take for the unit to arrive there. of course the unit is moving at a constant speed and towards the point of the ability cast.

(distance between points) / (speed of unit)

 

[TheLastAce]

dist(point a, point b)/ unit-movementspeed(current)

you should also check to amkesure that the current movement speed isnt zero, or you will have an error.

    local unit caster = cast
    local unit target = tar
    local real x1 = GetUnitX(caster)
    local real y1 = GetUnitY(caster)
    local real x2 = GetUnitX(target)
    local real y2 = GetUnitY(target)
    local real xx = x1 - x2
    local real yy = y1 - y2
    local real r = SquareRoot(xx*xx+yy*yy)
    local real tr = r / speed
    call PolledWait(I2R(tr))

something like this where speed is the movespeed of unit/missile/ect

about now as a calc student i feel like an idiot XD its so simple i over looked it....

distance = rate X time

distance = [square root]( (x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2 ) [/square root]
