Code: WME Script

1. Math.Sin();
2. Math.Cos();

In the manul it says....

Code: WME Script

1. Cos(Angle)
2. Returns the cosine of a number
3.  
4. Parameters
5. Angle
6. Angle in degrees
7.  
8. Sin(Angle)
9. Returns the sine of a number
10.  
11. Parameters
12. Angle
13. Angle in degrees

I was woundering is the input value here a RADIAN or a ANGLE. It says it returns an angle in degrees, but I am not sure what format gose into it....

I "think" it is radians.. is this correct?

[Mnemonic]

Errr, no...
An angle is an angle, it's measured either in degrees or in radians.

Errr, no...
An angle is an angle, it's measured either in degrees or in radians.

ummm yea.... but If i have an angle that is 20 degrees... and I do

Code: WME Script

1. // Use the Degrees in there?
2. var Question1 = Math.Cos(20); // Out Put is in Degrees? or Output in Radians?
3. // Use the radians in there?
4. var Question2 = Math.DegToRad(20);
5. Question3 = Math.Cos(Question2); // Out Put is in Degrees? or Output in Radians?
6.  

Am i makign sense? What i am asking is when shoudl I be converting angl;es into radians.... At the start convert degrees into radians and then just use them from then on?

The docs say the Math.Cos() expects an angle in degrees. So, if you have a value in degrees, you can pass it directly. If you have a value in radians, you need to convert it to degrees first and then pass it to Cos().

[Jyujinkai]

Oh ok... so the only time you need to convert into radians and back is when using

Code: WME Script

1. Math.Atan2(Y,X);
2.  
3. /*Atan2(Y, X)
4. Returns the angle (in radians) from the X axis to a point (y,x)
5.  
6. Parameters
7. X
8. A number representing the cartesian x-coordinate
9. Y
10. A number representing the cartesian y-coordinate */

apart from that all Math.Methods take Degrees and return Degrees?

<------- Edit (Side Question)
Atan2 works on cords... so if you have 2 points Xa,Ya and Xb,Yb then .Atan2(Xa,Yb); ??
