[Solved] From 2D to 3D Triggering

[nyks078]

Hi there guys. This is my first post here in Hive =)

Actually I really have the ability to solve 3D functions but even though i have somewhat "above average" GUI triggering and know the fundamentals of jass, I still find it hard on getting to the right point.

I use Coordinates instead of Locations because i have heard that it's much faster...but, bang... I just can't get it right...
What does wc3 use in computing angles? i try converting Atan2(b,a) to radians or degree(same converting Sin(a)*c and Cos(a)*c) but to no avail. In GUI they're doing just fine but I need it in jass...I already mess up un 2D and that's why i can't move on triggering 3D functions...

...anyways, I really need this because I am doing a Race Game with real Physics. Thanks much.

GUI (BJ functions) uses degrees, JASS (natives) uses radians.

JASS is almost completly in radians with exception of widget facing which for some reason is in degrees. This is the only time I know angular typecasting is required (when reading and setting unit facing or making a destructable). I do not know if camera orientation is in radians or degrees.

Below are the functions that use radians, maybe SetSoundConeAngles uses it too, do not know what this function does/how to distinguish it.

Although, as noted there, GetCameraField returns radians for roll, pitch and yaw, SetCameraField takes degree.

just use Atan2(x,y)* bj_RADTODEG
for using sin/cos do Sin(facing*bj_DEGTORAD)it will do all that you need

 

[Adiktuz]

just use the value of bj_RADTODEG/bj_DEGTORAD directly if ever...

..wOw, i've been looking for this for a while! Thanks



Thank you guys..oh man this is awesome. Problem solved, not anymore confused now
ha,ha!!

Atan2 takes (y, x) not (x, y).
