Hello! =)

So, I kinda got sick of making a cicular/curvy motion frame for frame. =D"
Then I found >this< Thread, but unfortunatly the links are down.
Would somebody mind explaining it to me?
While I tried to overcome my... uhm... dislike for maths, I'm still not too sure how to translate this into WME script.

I'd appreciate your help, it means a lot to me. :>

Hey )

I did this in ghost in the sheet using predefined sin / cos table. I'd need to check the 6 years old sources, but it was something like this (entirely untested):

in game.script

Code: WME Script

1.  
2. global SinTable;
3. global CosTable;
4.  
5. for (var angle=0;angle<360;angle=angle+1)
6. {
7.    SinTable[angle] = Math.Sin(angle);    // note, that WME sin / cos eats angles, not radians which made me pulling my hair off
8.    CosTable[angle] = Math.Cos(angle);   
9. }
10.  

Now when you need the circular motion, you can use

Code: WME Script

1.  
2. global SinTable;
3. global CosTable;
4.  
5. var ent = Scene.GetNode("Some entity");
6. var radius = 30; // radius of the circular motion
7.  
8. var centerX = ent.X;
9. var centerY = ent.Y;
10. var angle = 0;
11.  
12. while(1)
13. {
14.    
15.     ent.X = centerX + SinTable[angle] * radius;
16.     ent.Y = centerY + CosTable[angle] * radius;
17.  
18.     angle = angle + 1;
19.     if (angle == 360) angle =0;
20.     Sleep(50);
21. }
22.  
23.  

Also note, that for this to work well, you should use a sprite with a hotspot defined in the center of the image and not the default upper left corner.

Oh my gosh, this is just perfect!
Thank you sooooooooooo much, metamorphium! :>
It makes everything so much easier! <3
