Snippet OffsetUnitReals

how are these bjs they are created by me not blizzard

When he said BJ function, he was referring to the concept, not that your functions were part of blizzard.j.

In general, the functions in blizzard.j are near useless; some simply call a native, some leak handles, some don't do anything (see DoNothing).

The idea is that these functions are useless. Their only point is to improve readability (and some don't even do that), or simply for compatability/use in GUI.

He is saying your functions are not helpful, they don't do anything useful or big enough to warrant an extra function call.

i see no reason to graveyard this when its not even released properly yet

Again, as was said above, this is in the graveyard because you posted it in the submissions, and it was found to be not useful. The graveyard does not mean gone forever, it simply means it needs work, is not useful, or is outdated.

I would be appalled if anything like this were to get through the mods, and into the systems/snippets section. Perhaps this is why you are not a mod, and Romek is.

well this has been helpful to me since i tend to forget the formula and have to refer back to the thread where i asked it.

 

[Romek]

..What formula is there to forget, that this helps remember?

I guess it makes sense if you aren't familiar with basic trigonometry.

 

[Gtam]

yea what he said. I forget that formulas with the cos and sin

 

[cleeezzz]

function PolarProjectionX takes real x, real distance, real angle returns real
    return x+distance*Cos(angle)
endfunction

function PolarProjectionY takes real y, real distance, real angle returns real
    return y+distance*Sin(angle)
endfunction

those should help you better than the system

 

[Romek]

If you've forgotten the formula, doing a search in the function list for "PolarProjection" (or simply "Polar") wouldn't hurt.

 

[Gtam]

no i mean the entire formula and in the right place

 

[Romek]

...What?
I promise you that PolarProjectionBJ hasn't got the wrong formula.

 

[Gtam]

bhaa then why does no one use it?? And im talking about the formula my snippet has

 

[Romek]

> bhaa then why does no one use it?? And im talking about the formula my snippet has
Everybody who uses GUI, uses that BJ.
It uses locations instead of reals.
But really, that's only replacing GetLocationX/Y with GetUnitX/Y in your case.

...It's the same 'formula'. It's basic trigonometry. Your snippet isn't the first thing in the world to use cos/sin, trust me.

 

[T.s.e]

Because PolarProjection takes and returns a location, which is highly inefficient.

Beaten..

I didnt say its the firts to use sin and coz its just to make the use easier thats all

Honestly, I hate this. It is an inefficient way to "easily" do some easy-to-remember formulas. Some functions that don't inline really should.
