[JASS] How letting a unit facing target point

[Saia_Djinn]

I think i got a mindexplosion coz of the fact that i cant remember how letting a unit facing a target point of abilty being cast

if i do with Atan2 its just always facing east has anyone the right mathematic functoin available please =D

 

[raid1000]

well i am certainly having a mindexplosion coz of that english xP
so do you want to make a unit face the targetpoint?

Look at the BJ GetAngleBetweenPoints. See how that does it.

 

[Saia_Djinn]

The angle between points make it with Atan2 which doesnt work for my sheet =D
yeah i want a dummy with the orcish ship model facing the target point of my ability which doesnt work with Atan2 here( i dont know why so i asked the question =) )

Could you please show the code that you're using? It's a bit hard to help you when all you're telling us that you're having trouble with Atan2.

 

[Saia_Djinn]

The problem are just these 2 lines if i move the unit later via a timer callback it moves via the right direction ,but the facing is always east

x , y , l and all other variables are declared

set k.angle = Atan2(GetLocationY(l) - y , GetLocationX(l) - x )
set k.ball = CreateUnit( GetOwningPlayer(u) , BallId , x , y , k.angle )

But are they all declared and set right? Show us where you set them.

Did you convert it to degrees before using it? It doesn't seem like you did. Atan2 returns a value in radians.

Edit: Oh yeah, to convert it from radians to degrees, multiply it by bj_RADTODEG

 

[Saia_Djinn]

It was the RADTODEG i didnt know that unitfacing is taken in degrees thanks =D
