Nuutti Registered 26/10/2003 Points 1364	6th December, 2006 at 12:23:24 - sooda.dy.fi/~nuutti/jotainmuuta/rapid_32_bullets.gam that's a rough example, there are some things that you should fix if you want a perfect thing. P.S. sorry for my mangled english.
Aptennap Registered 23/04/2004 Points 916	6th December, 2006 at 12:31:44 - Thanks, its perfect, really good. Oh sweet mary.

It's dead simple: Set X Position to X Position + Cos(Angle 0-359) * speed Set Y Position to Y Position - Sin(Angle 0-359) * speed n/a
Aptennap Registered 23/04/2004 Points 916	6th December, 2006 at 12:56:11 - Yes but TGF cant handle angles only 32 directions Oh sweet mary.
Aptennap Registered 23/04/2004 Points 916	6th December, 2006 at 12:58:25 - I tweaked the example a bit : http://www.freewebs.com/appien1/rapid_32_bullets.gam how can i do that you cant see the bullets when they are overlapping the player when they are created? Oh sweet mary.
Nuutti Registered 26/10/2003 Points 1364	6th December, 2006 at 13:35:37 - ..You could actually do it so that it has 360 degrees, just do it with that advanced maths object. P.S. sorry for my mangled english.
Aptennap Registered 23/04/2004 Points 916	6th December, 2006 at 13:55:28 - Please tell me how to do that, please... Oh sweet mary.
Nuutti Registered 26/10/2003 Points 1364	6th December, 2006 at 13:58:33 - i'll try to explain... In that example i made there was like: always: -set alterable value a to direction*(360/32). This time you don't do that, just set alterable value a to the angle you want it to be. You can do like when pressing a key the player turns a few degrees. Or you can do it mouse-aimed but for that you'll need some other functions and i don't know if they are in tgf. P.S. sorry for my mangled english.
Aptennap Registered 23/04/2004 Points 916	6th December, 2006 at 14:24:34 - Mmm sounds hard, is it possible to calculate the angle from the position of the player and the mouse cursor or so? Oh sweet mary.
Aptennap Registered 23/04/2004 Points 916	6th December, 2006 at 14:36:40 - Oke I got it it can easily be calculated with Advanced Math Object. Oh sweet mary.
Nuutti Registered 26/10/2003 Points 1364	6th December, 2006 at 14:41:08 - Yes the angle between 2 coordinates can be calculated with atan or, more easily with atan2, and some extensions have a function for that. I don't remember is it like direction calculator or advanced maths extension or what ever. Anyway, good if it works now. P.S. sorry for my mangled english.
Aptennap Registered 23/04/2004 Points 916	6th December, 2006 at 15:22:23 - Still doesn't work,were can i get atan2? Oh sweet mary.
Aptennap Registered 23/04/2004 Points 916	6th December, 2006 at 15:57:00 - I now have this : http://www.freewebs.com/appien1/rapid_32_bullets.gam But it still doesn't work. Oh sweet mary.
Joe.H Evil Faker Registered 19/08/2002 Points 3305	6th December, 2006 at 18:09:03 - Angle between two points: (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is atan((y2-y1)/(x2-x1)) My signature is never too big!!!
Aptennap Registered 23/04/2004 Points 916	7th December, 2006 at 01:29:51 - atan? Is that in a extension? Oh sweet mary.
Joe.H Evil Faker Registered 19/08/2002 Points 3305	7th December, 2006 at 07:48:29 - atan is the inverse of tan. If TGF doesnt have it, you may need the advanced math object, or something. My signature is never too big!!!
Nuutti Registered 26/10/2003 Points 1364	7th December, 2006 at 11:02:01 - If you do it with atan, you'll need to modify the result by adding 180 to it in some circumstances and such. If some extension includes atan2 I recommend that one. P.S. sorry for my mangled english.
Aptennap Registered 23/04/2004 Points 916	7th December, 2006 at 11:38:15 - Umm..can someone please make an example? Oh sweet mary.
JohnLastrologue Registered 09/06/2005 Points 247	7th December, 2006 at 13:14:36 - I once made a complete engine of a 360 directions bullet... it has flaws but I'm too lazy to perfect it. It's in french but you should figure your way around it. If you absolutely need a translation I might see what I can do for you... http://johnwof.site.voila.fr/moteur360.rar n/a
Nuutti Registered 26/10/2003 Points 1364	7th December, 2006 at 13:45:38 - http://sooda.dy.fi/~nuutti/jotainmuuta/rapid_32_bullets.gam i did one too, i am not sure how perfect it is. it has 360 degree shooting now. hmm, the file still has the name rapid 32 bullets, though it's not 32 directions anymore, it's 360 degrees. Edited by the Author. P.S. sorry for my mangled english.
Aptennap Registered 23/04/2004 Points 916	7th December, 2006 at 15:15:32 - Wow Thanks both of you they are both really good. Oh sweet mary.
Aptennap Registered 23/04/2004 Points 916	29th December, 2006 at 15:34:29 - Oke i implented the 360 shooting thing, and it works fine but now i need to create a machine gun and a shotgun, how can i create these using the 360 shooting system (machine shoots less acurate and the shotgun shoots 2 or 3 bullets in different directions) I really dont know how to do this, please help. Oh sweet mary.
Aptennap Registered 23/04/2004 Points 916	30th December, 2006 at 10:22:37 - Oke i got the machine gun thing working now, bút i cant get a shotgun thing. UPDATE: Nevermind i got everything working now! Edited by the Author. Oh sweet mary.
