[Trigger] About angles errors

[leokiryu]

Hi everyone, i made a spell (with friend's help) that does:

Call 3 Lizards run to the target point, start from your back 400 distance. Deals damages to any enemies who block the lizards

It runs ok with 180 or 360 degrees (casting position):

But it cause errors at this angle:

Here's my triggers, im still dont know about the angle-triggers, please help me

try "+ 180" instead of "x -1.00"

 

[leokiryu]

you mean

offset by -400.00 towards 180 degrees ?

 

[Death Adder]

If I understood it right then you want it to always spawn behind the caster?

Either change the "* -1" with +/- 180 (like wiet all ready mentioned) or even more simple just take the locations in the opposite order and you won't have to alter the angle afterwards.

I.E. swap location 1 and 2: Set SD_Angle[1] = (Angle from SD_Loc[1] to SD_Loc[0])

 

[Wietlol]

offset by -400 towards (SD_Angle[1] -180) degrees

What happens if you use "x -1":

What happens if you use "-180"

 

[Death Adder]

offset by -400 towards (SD_Angle[1] -180) degrees

What happens if you use "x -1":

What happens if you use "-180"

Yep, you've made it pretty clear with the illustrations. +1.

Though I still think it's kind of pointless to +/-180 when you could just swap the input order of the locations to invert it.

 

[Wietlol]

But that doesnt matter
You just should know what you are doing when you create something.
When you do not know what you are doing, you need someone to hold your hand.

And they have to run into direction from caster to target point and they have to spawn in an offset towards -180 from that angle.
Rather use the same value and add -180 to it than use two times the calculation time of finding the angle.
