Modulo for behind a unit

[tml616]

I am not very sure about how to use Modulo, and I want my ability to do 35 damage normally, 75 from behind (a backstab attack).

I want to use modulo to check if the casting unit's location is relative to the target's facing angle. Like this:

I'd do something like this:

• Bleh
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Death Coil
  • Actions
    • Set CastLoc = (Position of (Triggering unit))
    • Set TarLoc = (Position of (Target unit of ability being cast))
    • Set Angle = (Angle from CastLoc to TarLoc)
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • Or - Any (Conditions) are true
          • Conditions
            • Angle Greater than or equal to (((Facing of (Triggering unit)) + 105.00) mod 360.00)
            • Angle Less than or equal to (((Facing of (Triggering unit)) - 105.00) mod 360.00)
      • Then - Actions
      • Else - Actions
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_CastLoc)
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TarLoc)

Untested though. I might've made some mistake, not sure.

You should be doing "Greater than (Facing of unit) - 105" and "Less than (Facing of unit) + 105", though 105 (times 2, for each interval) is way too large of a range. Perhaps something around 40 would be more suitable (means 80 degrees of leniency).

I need to use Modulo though, because unit facing is 0 to 360 and angle between points is -180 to 180

 

[Justify]

No? Angle between points returns a normal angle form 0 to 360, at least I've always used it like this and it worked oO

Use:

• Set Ang = ((Angle from (Position of (Triggering unit)) to (Position of (Triggering unit))) mod 360.00)

Leaks, but it is just an example. Basically, "angle" mod 360 is the function you're looking for.

I haven't tested that modulo thingy, but this should work also.

• (Cos(((Temp_Real_1) - (Angle from Temp_Loc_1 to Temp_Loc_2)))) Less than (Cos(105.00))

If this is true, then the unit is inside the area, backstabbing.

Temp_Real_1 = Facing of the unit to be backstabbed
Temp_Loc_1 = Position of the unit whose facing you use
Temp_Loc_2 = Position of the backstabbing unit
