Rockets

[QueenOfOblivion]

Okay so I made this Missile Rocket system.. and I want it so that the rocket cannot make short angles.. like that if the target is behind the rocket it will turn around within milliseconds.. Negative angles probably don't even exist, I'm just very confused.. How can I fix this?

Negative angles do exist. I think angles in wc3 go from -360 to (insert huge number here). But it's best to contain the angle within the range of 0 to 360. So you should have an if statement that does "if angle less than 0 then set angle to angle + 360", and "if angle greater than 360 then set angle to angle - 360". I think then it would be easier to contain your angle within certain degrees.

Element of Water: you can do that even simplier, without ifs:

• Set Angle = (Angle +360) mod 360

The part two is

• If colission ......
  • ELSE
    • Set Temp_Point = (Position of RocketTraget[(Player number of (Picked player))])
    • Set Angle = ( (Angle from Temp_Point2 to Temp_Point) +360 ) mod 360
    • Set Facing = ( (Facing of Rocket[(Player number of (Picked player))]) +360) mod 360
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • Abs ( Angle ) Less than or equal to 5.00
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit - Make Rocket[(Player number of (Picked player))] face (Angle) over 0
      • Else - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • Conditions
            • (Angle) < (Facing)
          • Then - Actions
            • Unit - Make Rocket[(Player number of (Picked player))] face (Facing - 5.00) over 0
          • Else - Actions
            • Unit - Make Rocket[(Player number of (Picked player))] face (Facing + 5.00) over 0
  • Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_Temp_Point)

Meh the modulo function (the Jass code for it) uses ifs anyway...

I though something like this would be native, but your right!

I noticed another thing in definition of modulo: you don't have to add +360 to the value, modulo function automatically shifts the value to the 0..359 range. Correction of my codes above:

• Set Angle = Angle mod 360
