I think I'm just gonna create a thread for all of my math questions I ever have in the future. I should pay more attention in math class. :p

So here's my problem:

I'm trying to launch a projectile in a random direction from the point of origin:

JASS:
local projectile p  = 0
local real       ux = GetUnitX(d.orb)
local real       uy = GetUnitY(d.orb)
local real       tx = GetRandomReal(0, 360)
local real       ty = GetRandomReal(0, 360)
             
set p = projectile.create(ux,uy,50.00,Atan2((ty - uy),(tx - ux)))


(I'm using Kenny's Projectile system)

I thought the angle here:

JASS:
Atan2((ty - uy),(tx - ux))


should be random, but its not. The projectile is always going in the same direction. :confused:

Thanks for help.

[ljass]projectile.create(ux, uy, 50.00, GetRandomReal(0, 2 * bj_PI)) // You may want to pre-calculate 2 * bj_PI though.[/ljass]

[ljass]Atan2(a,b)[/ljass] takes radians, not angles.
[ljass]bj_PI/2[/ljass]=90 degrees
[ljass]bj_PI[/ljass]=180 degrees

Okay, sorry I should have specified more. I need a random X/Y coordinate, to get the angle for

JASS:
 projectile.create(ux,uy,50.00,Atan2((ty - uy),(tx - ux)))


and I need the same random X/Y coordinate for this:

JASS:
call p.projectArcing(tx, ty, p.posZ + 25.00, SHARD_SPEED, 0.08)

And Pi is equal to:

Let's not post useless things, NoobImbaPro.

Realistically, in vJASS, Pi only needs to be accurate to the 4th decimal place. And actually, going up to the 2nd decimal place would be more than enough precision for anything vJASS related.

Why useless mate, I gave you the first 1100+ decimals of pi exactly
vJass can read a number with 6 decimals, but 3.1415 is accurate enough, even 3.14.

give us another questions guy, we hope we help you understand many things that don't make sense to you

vjass can read a number with 20 decimals too.. they are stored in floats after all. However, to add/subtract things that are like 20 decimals, you have to do a trick because vjass value reading is weird (for numbers, not variables).

Okay it didn't take me long to get lost in math again. :p Sorry for the double post.

I'm working on a "leap" spell. The unit jumps 600 distance toward his facing angle. I based it off a spell written by Dinowc, so I don't completely understand all of the math functions.

Problem: instead of jumping 600, he jumps like 3000.

Are you sure [ljass]GetUnitFacing[/ljass] returns the angle in radians? I'm 99.99% sure that it returns it in degrees.

If that's the case, in your actions, do [ljass]local real angle = GetUnitFacing(caster) * bj_DEGTORAD[/ljass].

I haven't done vJASS in a while, but IIRC that is what you have to do with Cos/Sin. They take radians and GetUnitFacing returns degrees.

Well the caster always moved in the correct direction, but always too far.

I changed the angle to:

JASS:
local real angle = GetUnitFacing(caster) * bj_DEGTORAD


and the caster now never moves in the correct direction, always to the right, the distance is still way too far.

I simplified the above code to cut down on space to make it easier to read through. Below should be just the necessary math functions/data that would screw this up:

why don't you use my system?? AUMS

and see how I am doing all the stuff??

PS: You confuse radians with degrees, witch one will you use?? I prefer radians as emjlr3 does

IMO leaps are quite easy, you can write one yourself if you have basic sliding knowledge and AceHart's jump parabola or even this crazy equation i have here

y = [(2a-4c)/(b^2)]*x^2 + [(4c-3a)/b]*x + a

a = Initial height of the proyectile
c = Max height of the proyectile
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
x = distance traveled
y = returns the height of the proyectile
b = input the distance between the start point and the end point here

I haven't meant to use it, just see how it does the whole thing.
Because it isn't approved does not mean that it is a crappy one.
It is the half system, that's why it isn't approved. When I mean the half I mean like Timer32 without T32x module

yeah it may seem as a crazy equation, but a simpler one may be better, like my equation:
y=ax-bx[SUP]2[/SUP]+c

with b = 4*height/distance[SUP]2[/SUP]
a = b*distance

and it's a normal physics parabola.

Where height is the max height of the projectile, where distance the distance the projectile/unit will do, x is the current distance from start point and y the requested height at that point. Oh and c the initial height. Is same with aceheart's but with less arithmetics

    New recipe is Shipwreck Dinner - https://www.thehelper.net/threads/recipe-shipwreck-dinner.193511/
  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air

    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
