A better rotating FFC Script.

[beefster09]

Interesting! When I do my trig calculations, I get sin for y coords and cos for x coords. I hope it isn't flipped in ZScript.

That may be, beefster, but you'll find there is no difference in swapping X and Y if you're moving in a circle.

I'm having problems reproducing a patra type circle. So how would I go about producing 8 rotating ffc's to the patra effect?

Well like this. Inside your while loop:

this_ffc->X = sin(y);
this_ffc->Y = cos(y);

y++;

I have no idea to how that would work. I tried about 20 variations of sin and cos trying to get a fireball to move in a circular pattern and nada. Beefster, could you perhaps post the fireball script, or maybe just bludgeon me to death with a college level math book, that would also work.

Gleeok not like trig.


Here's the last 2 monumental failures. And they are obviously initialized by another script...supposedly.

ffc script ffc_wobble{

	void run(){

		int wobble = 0;

		while(true){

			if(this->Y > 168||this->Y < 0||this->X > 248||this->X < 0){
				this->X = 0; this->Y = 0; this->Vx = 0; this->Vy = 0;
				this->Data = 1;
			} 
			this->X = Sin(wobble);
			this->Y = Cos(wobble);

			wobble++;
		Waitframe();
		}
	}
}

ffc script ffc_wobble2{

	void run(){

		int wobble = 0;

		while(true){


			if(this->Y > 168||this->Y < 0||this->X > 248||this->X < 0){
				this->X = 0; this->Y = 0; this->Vx = 0; this->Vy = 0;
				this->Data = 1;
			} 
			if(this->Vx != 0 || this->Vy != 0){
		
				int x = this->Vx; int y = this->Vy;

				this->Vx = x *Sin(wobble);
				this->Vy = y *Cos(wobble);

				wobble++;
			}
		Waitframe();
		}
	}
}
