getdir??

[WizzyWig]

ok just a quick question to save me time well i hope it dose
how do i get this code to detect if the number is between 90/180

so the range
91,92,93,94,95,96,97,98 and so on up to 180

_unit = _this select 0
#top
_dir = Direction _unit

?(_unit < 180):hint "He can see us!!!!";goto "run"

goto "top"
#run
hint "RUN"

Try this function in the Editors Depot:

Or at least look at how it works if it does not fit exactly what your after.

ok let me start again what i would like is if the unit useing the script when it turns between south and east ie 90 - 180 it will activate but only when its between 90  - 180 the funchtion by toadlife is the same a useing _dir = Direction _unit

thanks tho but help still needed

the exsample i gave you at tom works but only with its under 180 this includes 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11 and so on

This would solve only a part of the problem.
Then you must check the facing direction of the unit.
The problem is that atan2 return a number between -180/+180,
so if the unit is facing north you could get the wrong result.
I solved somehow, Wizziwig, ask Raptorsaurus,  I gave him a terrain
following code some time ago. The solution should be there,
if it's not, for Raptorsaurus would be very easy to find out.

im workign with him on the tomahawk now but he is asleep till about 2pm what this script is for is finding the direction of the tomahawk and setting a marker for that dir i know how to set dir but othere then that im stupid all i need it to do is

exsample 2

_unit = _this select 0
#top
_dir = Direction _unit
?(_dir >= 360):player sidechat "face north"
?(_dir >= 90):player sidechat "East"
?(_dir >= 180):player sidechat "South"
?(_dir >= 270):player sidechat "West"
~1
goto "top"

[sa8gecko]

the problem lies in the fact that dir or direction returns a number
between 0 and 360. So the line

Code: [Select]

?(_dir >= 360):player sidechat "face north"has little meaning
Face north: 315-360 and 0-45
face east  45-135
face south 135-225
face west  225-315

i just tryed this with no joy it is returning 3 dirs north,east,south but never west
 
_unit = _this select 0
#top
_dir = Direction _unit
?(_dir < 315),(_dir >= 45  ):player sidechat "face north"; "marker" setmarkertype "TomN"
~1
?(_dir < 45),(_dir >= 135  ):player sidechat "face EAST";"marker" setmarkertype "TomE"
~1
?(_dir < 135),(_dir >= 225  ):player sidechat "face South";"marker" setmarkertype "TomS"
~1
?(_dir < 225),(_dir >= 315  ):player sidechat "face West";"marker" setmarkertype "TomW"
~1
goto "top"

is there not a way to detect the exsact number
_unit = 180
?(_unit = 180) then hint "180"

[Spinor]

Code: [Select]

?(_dir < 315),(_dir >= 45  ):player sidechat "face north"; "marker" setmarkertype "TomN"The syntax is not correct (I think the placement of the '>', '<' is also faulty):

Code: [Select]

_unit = _this select 0
#top
_dir = Direction _unit
?_dir > 315 AND _dir <= 45: player sidechat "face north"; "marker" setmarkertype "TomN"
~1
?_dir > 45 AND _dir <= 135: player sidechat "face EAST";"marker" setmarkertype "TomE"
~1
?_dir > 135 AND _dir <= 225: player sidechat "face South";"marker" setmarkertype "TomS"
~1
?_dir > 225 AND _dir <= 315: player sidechat "face West";"marker" setmarkertype "TomW"
~1
goto "top"

Code: [Select]

is there not a way to detect the exsact number
_unit = 180
?(_unit = 180) then hint "180"equality is checked by '==':

Code: [Select]

?(_unit == 180) then hint "180"

[WizzyWig]

ok i tryed that but with no joy it dont do anything please can you make a quick exsample

thanks

[WizzyWig]
