Several Shockwaves positioned neatly, forming a moon-shape structure.

Some of you may know what I'm doing, but some of you may not.

I'm creating a RPG. It features the animanga BLEACH. All characters are included in the game.

So, I'm still stuck with this ability, "Getsuga Tenshou". Its a moon-shape ability made up of several shockwaves. My main problem is this.

How do I position the shockwaves so neatly that they form a crescent moving towards the target enemy?

Well, the crescent would essentially be made of 1/2 of 1 circle and maybe 1/3 of another, larger circle. Here's a picture:

The yellow parts being your crescents. Thus, all you have to do is figure out how deep you need your crescent to be and create shockwaves at the relevant points on the circle once you've got a formula for it.

At the relevant points... that seems to be tough. Unless you can use a random point in the two circles?

No. Impossible. What do you suggest, then?

It's not that hard. Say you figure out that your small circle should have a radius of 200 and that the big one should have a radius of 300. Run a few tests to find out how far away the center of each circle should be; let's say it's 325.

Since circles are identical no matter what direction you rotate them, you just need to find out what % of the circle will actually be drawn by testing; let's say 60% of the small one and 30% of the big one will be drawn. Converted to degrees, those become 216* and 108*, respectively.

If you know how to draw 360* of a circle, you can certainly draw 216* and 108* of a circle. And you know where the center/what the radius is for each one!

360* of a circle? I know naught about circles, and that was why I set up this thread.

>are you making a wave that forms like a cresent?

A shockwave wave that forms like a crescent. The whole crescent-shape wave will move towards the target enemy, while keeping its shape.
 

waaaks!

Crescent Shockwave

Firstly set the position where the crescentshape starts.

In this Experiments, I have the result as this:

crescentzv2.png


For Example, is this, if you want to strike the target frontally, use Shockwave Ability, and then use the triggers:

Just say you have :
"Shockstart" Variable of Point with 7 Arrays.
Then "Angle" Variable of Real with no Array.
Then "Shocker" Variable of Unit with 7 Arrays.
Then "Centre" Variable of Point with no Array
Those Fours Needed for this Trigger

Then set, one by one :

Those trigger works, check them out;

Remember, give nomana Shockwave to the Dumb Unit or it won't work.

The most pointful part is the selected one on the image:

Note, Big Note:

600.00 and 575.00, are the radiant of crescent that looks like "("

(Angle- (228.00 - ((IntegerA) x 12.00))), is where the first shockwave starts

If you want to change the direction, just change the 228 into another thing, for example 228 - 90, or 228 + 90, or 228 - 180 (Angle - (228.00 - ((IntegerA)x12.00)))

To change the length of the "(", just change the 12 into another thing, you can even create a circle if change it into 360.00/7.00 (Angle - (228.00 - ((IntegerA) x 12.00)))

If you want to change the size, just change the 600.00 and 575.00 into lesser ones.

So, in fact, these things only used points and degrees as the centres of imaginary circles.

Then, You can create all shape of structure as long as you know points well, even letter such as A-Z.

:cool:

mr-death, I don't really think you got what I wanted.

The crescent should be like this:

Code:
********) -->
*********) --> 
**********) -->
O**********) --> Target
**********) -->
*********) --> 
********) -->

It should be something like this, with the "head" at the front, and the hero at the back.

Oh, that part is Easier

Look again at my last post, it's been edited again with image.

If you want to create

Just see the Trigger that I've just uploaded, then change the 228.00 into 228.00-180.00, or 48.00.

And Also change the 600.00 into -600.00 ,The one in the
Set Centre = ((Position of (Casting Unit)) offset by 600.00 towards Angle Degrees)

:cool:

Thanks, mr-death, I just don't understand why is your reputation still 0. You're a helpful guy ;)

I believe in the anime fight map thing, Ichigo creates a close-to-crescent attack, perhaps you can use that? Maybe like pm the creator and ask him/her.

If I do that, the players in my game will probably say "lol this ichigo copy anime fight = =" or something like that. I want more creativity, and I finally found this type of spell, so I asked.

Technically that's not a crescent; it's an arc. If you'd actually wanted a crescent, my way works.

A crescent is a 2-D geometrical figure that is made from two arcs. An arc is part of a circle.

A crescent is made from two arcs, so ultimately, it's still an arc.

Just proving my point: a crescent is 2-D; an arc is 1-D (if that's possible).

An arc is just simply a curved line, while a crescent is two curved lines and the space in between. A crescent can have area, an arc cannot :D
