setpos question

[Blanco]

What the code to place "unit1" one meters in front of "Unit2", facing eachother

It should also work when unit2 is watching N, S, E, W or what direction ever


I got

_dir = getdir unit2

Unit1 setpos [getpos unit2 select 0, (getpos unit2 select 1) + 1, 0]

unit1 setdir _dir - 180

But it doesn't work, it's a math question and I'm X3mly bad in math

something with cos & sin?  :-\

Prrlease help

i dont realy understand you

[Blanco]

ok, I try it again...

how can is setpos a unit1 one meter in front of unit2 and make them turn and look at each other, regardless what direction unit2 is facing?

[junkie-xL]

so you want to be able to setpos the player and have him facing another fellow, regardless of what particular position that other unit is occupying at that moment?

hmmm, couldn't you achieve this with
"player dowatch unit"

otherwise I think this needs to be calculated with some of the complex trigonometry you see applied in those very advanced scripts. so you need a formulate to calculate 180°. There's no such thing as setrelpos in setpossing I'm afraid. But I could be mistaken.

the "Demolition Diver" campaign you're working on looks very promising!

Code: [Select]

#loop
?mortarsdead: exit
_bearing = random(360)
_distance = random(50)+40
?(local gl5): _shell = "mortarshell" createvehicle [(getpos (leader grp1) select 0) + sin (getdir (leader grp1) + _bearing) * _distance, (getpos (leader grp1) select 1) + cos (getdir (leader grp1) + _bearing) * _distance, 50]
?_shell distance mortar3 < 80: deletevehicle _shell; goto "loop"
_shell setvelocity [0,0,-50]
~random(3)+1
goto "loop"

Unit1 setpos [(getpos unit2 select 0) + (cos getdir unit2), (getpos unit2 select 1) + (sin getdir unit2), 0]

that should put him 1 meter in front of unit2, unless i messed something up

Lol, it isn't really that complex...

As far as the unit facing the other, try this:

Code: [Select]

_A setdir ((getpos _B select 0) - (getpos _A select 0)) atan2 ((getpos _B select 1) - (getpos _A select 1))
_B setdir ((getpos _A select 0) - (getpos _B select 0)) atan2 ((getpos _A select 1) - (getpos _B select 1))
I believe that is correct.....

thx !

I found the dirtoobj.sqf in the function library, It's does the same no?
