Radians

[Chaosy]

Decided to work directly with radians instead of converting to degrees.

My intention is to form a circle of dummies but the circle does not get completed. The tenth dummy is always missing.
I tried changing the loop to while(i < num + 6) but the tenth dummy still didn't appear, so it's a math problem with the angle, I assume.

//! zinc
	library PrisonAbility requires Table, Missile
	{
		public struct PrisonCore
		{
			Table t;
			real x, y;
			
			method DummyCircle(integer num, real height)
			{
				real interval = (bj_PI*2)/num;
				real angle;
				real nx;
				real ny;
				integer i = 0;
				Missile m;
				while(i < num)
				{
					angle = i*interval;
					nx = this.x + 250 * Cos(angle);
					ny = this.y + 250 * Sin(angle);
					m = Missile.create(nx, ny, height, 0, 0, height);
					m.model = "Abilities\\Weapons\\FireBallMissile\\FireBallMissile.mdl";
					i += 1;
				}
			}
		
			static method create(real x, real y) -> thistype
			{
				thistype this = thistype.allocate();
				this.x = x;
				this.y = y;
				this.DummyCircle(10, 50);
				return this;
			}
		}
	}
//! endzinc

Mine works fine

//! zinc
    library Test
    {   
        function onInit()
        {
            integer num = 10;
            real interval = 2*bj_PI/num;
            integer i = 0;
            real angle;
            real x = 0;
            real y = 0;
            FogMaskEnable(false);
            FogEnable(false);
            while(i < num)
            {
                angle = i*interval;
                AddSpecialEffect("Abilities\\Weapons\\FireBallMissile\\FireBallMissile.mdl", x + 250*Cos(angle), y + 250*Sin(angle));
                i += 1;
            }
        }
    }
//! endzinc

Maybe it must have something to do with the Missile library?

I don't know what fixed it but it randomly started to work properly.

edit: And then it stopped working again.

edit2: I added a debug message. It shows 0-8 despite it being supposed to loop to 18 in this case.
Something in the loop breaks the code somehow.

			method DummyCircle(integer num, real height, real speed)
			{
				real interval = (bj_PI*2)/num;
				real nx, ny, angle;
				integer i = 0;
				integer h;
				Missile m;
				while(i < num + 9)
				{
					angle = i*interval;
					nx = this.x + 250 * Cos(angle);
					ny = this.y + 250 * Sin(angle);
					m = Missile.create(nx, ny, height, 0, 0, height);
					m.model = "Abilities\\Weapons\\FireBallMissile\\FireBallMissile.mdl";
					GroupAddUnit(g, m.dummy);
					h = GetHandleId(m.dummy);
					t[0].real[h] = interval;
					t[1].real[h] = speed;
					t[2].real[h] = angle;
					t[3].real[h] = this.x;
					t[4].real[h] = this.y;
					BJDebugMsg(I2S(i));
					i += 1;
				}
			}

Try creating SpecialEffects (like I did) in the mean time instead of Missiles and test if it is still not working. If it always work, it must have something to do with the Missile Library.

Correct is has something to do with the missile system since it loops correctly when I comment out the missile.create line.

I will go an spam BPower and see if he knows what's up.
