Offset to XYZ coords

[yair1221]

i stored coords from a car

and i want to know whether one of the coords is X+ or X-, how do i do it?

i want something like that:

 

store coords from car

 

check coords as XYZ

 

car velocity at direction XYZ by coords

 

the problem is

when i try to use store coords and then velocity at direction

i dont know which velocities to use

so i use 1.0 1.0 1.0

and then it moves everywhere, left, forward, up

so how do i know what velocities to use?

based on XYZ

 

i hope you understand any of this

cheers

Is it realy that hard to write a simple test script for that?

finding out stuff yourself will definately make you understand it

What he said.

i dont know

got knows i tried

i just cant think of something

i dunno if there is any connection between offsets and XYZ coords

store coords from car returns absolut coords of the coords system

but the velocity opcode requires floats in relation to the car, similar like these which you regulary insert in the offset params

you can get it by reading z-angle and calculate it with sine and cosine, then multipicate the result of cosine with -1.0

ok... but i still dont understand the deal with sine and cosine...something about taking 50.0 of them both than adding them?

[IGreyFox]

its a standar mathematic operation... you really need to back school men lol

basically he is calculating the z-angle with sine/cosine operations, read it again you have to understand it
