function for nova (problem with circle)

[Akolyt0r]

I want a nova-like spell...
dummyspell is some shockwave like ability..
my problem is i dont get a full circle...but only a quarter circle on the right side of my caster ...
Im kinda confused cause

//c like quotation here
for(int i=0;i<=360;i+=10){
x=cx+1*Cos(i*bj_DEGTORAD)
y=cy+1*Sin(i*bj_DEGTORAD)
//Do Something with x,y
}

should generate coordinates around cx,cy with a radius of 1 ...shouldnt it ?
have i got wrong formulas ?

wah Halp meh pls.

//code snippet
local unit caster=GetTriggerUnit()
local player p=GetOwningPlayer(caster)
local real cx=GetUnitX(caster)
local real cy=GetUnitY(caster)
local integer i=0
local real x=cx
local real y=cy
local unit dummy
loop
exitwhen i>360
set dummy=CreateUnit(p,dummyid,cx,cy,0)
call UnitApplyTimedLife(dummy,'BTLF',1)
call SetUnitAbilityLevel(dummy,fxspellid,GetUnitAbilityLevel(caster,spellid))
set x=cx+1*Cos(i*bj_DEGTORAD)
set y=cy+1*Sin(i*bj_DEGTORAD)
call IssuePointOrder(dummy,fxorderstring,x,y)
set i=i+10
endloop

That thread is really old... "Last edited by TaintedReality : 05-10-2006 at 12:14 AM. " I'd suggest not to use that.

i only need a working formula 0.o
no complete nova spell ...
got it working

set x=cx+[COLOR="Red"]100[/COLOR]*Cos(i*bj_DEGTORAD)
set y=cy+[COLOR="Red"]100[/COLOR]*Sin(i*bj_DEGTORAD)

instead of

set x=cx+1*Cos(i*bj_DEGTORAD)
set y=cy+1*Sin(i*bj_DEGTORAD)

although my old code should have worked aswell :/

It did.
But ordering a unit to move 0.3 distance has not much of an effect...
