[Lua] [Needs Fix] wGeometry

[ScorpioT1000]

Geometry library implemented in Lua in OOP format. What's tasty:

• Functions - auxiliary functions such as cropping and calculating different types of interpolations
• Vector3 - 3D vector class with overloaded math operators, support for 3D conversion from game structures and vice versa, interpolations, applications of spherical offsets, checks for being in a sphere and a box, matrix transformations and more
• Matrix3 - a 3x3 matrix class with many different constructors such as rotation axes and a multiplication operator
• Matrix4 is a 4x4 matrix class, it is the simplest one - with comparison and multiplication operators
• Box - a class for working with cuboids, containing methods for obtaining volume, expansion, inclusion, intersection with other shapes, etc.
• Sphere - a class for working with spheres, containing methods for obtaining volume, inclusion, intersection with other figures, etc.
• Ray - a class for working with rays and getting intersection points with objects
• Camera - a class for storing data about the camera and the ability to convert window coordinates and scene coordinates between themselves
• toGrid methods for building shapes from a vertex grid

It works in a normal object mode or in WLPM mode as a module (determined automatically).

Installation

Copy code from /src and use wGeometry global
OR use WLPM and import("wGeometry")

wlpm install Indaxia/lua-wGeometry

Usage Examples

  local a = Vector3:new(1, -1, 1.1)
  local b = Vector3:new(-1, 1, -1.1)
  print(a + b)
 
  local c = Vector3:copyFromUnit(udg_unit1)
  local d = Vector3:copyFromUnit(udg_unit1)
 
  c:hermite(d, 0.5):applyToUnit(udg_unit1)
 
 
  local m1 = Matrix3:new(
   0.5, 1., 0.5,
   0.8, 0.2, 0.7,
   0.9, 1., 0.
  )
  local m2 = Matrix3:newIdentity()
  print(m1 * m2)
 
 
  local m3 = Matrix4:new(
   0.5, 1., 0.5,
   0.8, 0.2, 0.7,
   0.9, 1., 0.
  )
  print(m4)

  local b = Box:new(
   Vector3:new(2,2,2),
   Vector3:new(4,6,3)
  )
  print b.containsVector(a)
 
  local s = Sphere:new(Vector3:new(2,2,2), 100)
  local r = Ray:new(Vector3:new(2,2,2), Vector3:new(0.3,0.3,0.4))
  print (r.intersectsSphere(s))
 
  local cam = Camera:new()
  local win = Vector3:new(0.5, 0.5, 1)
  local world = cam:windowToWorld(win)
  local win2 = cam:worldToWindow(world)
  cam:applyCameraToPlayer(Player(0))

Ok sorry for that, can you move em to that section?

You need to use FourCC to convert ability ids to integers.
Much of this goes over my head - but here are several speed improvements for your code:

  local unlockUnitZ = function(u)
    UnitAddAbility(u , 'Aave')
    UnitRemoveAbility(u , 'Aave')
  end

->

  local unlockAbility = FourCC('Aave')
  local unlockUnitZ = function(u)
    if UnitAddAbility(u , unlockAbility ) then
        UnitRemoveAbility(u , unlockAbility )
    end
  end

  local _GetUnitZ = function(u)
    return GetUnitFlyHeight(u) + getTerrainZ(GetUnitX(u), GetUnitY(u))
  end

  local _SetUnitZ = function(u, z)
    SetUnitFlyHeight(u, z - getTerrainZ(GetUnitX(u), GetUnitY(u)), 0)
  end

->

  local _GetUnitZ = function(u)
    return GetUnitFlyHeight(u) + BlzGetLocalUnitZ(u)
  end

  local _SetUnitZ = function(u, z)
    SetUnitFlyHeight(u, z - BlzGetLocalUnitZ(u), 0)
  end

Hello, I'm trying to use this to move a frame to the position of a unit, but for that I need get the Camera "class instance" of the handle of the current camera object, how should I do that?
