Spawn circle in front of a moving one

I'm trying to spawn a circle in direct front of another one. Here's an illustration of what I'm trying:

I think this will work. Increase the 0.1 to increase the space between.

Code: Select all

_dir := math.atan2(scene.my.p0Vel(1), scene.my.p0Vel(0));
pos := scene.my.p0Pos + [cos(_dir) * (scene.my.p0Radius + 0.1), sin(_dir) * (scene.my.p0Radius + 0.1)]

Works wery well. Thanks!

You can also do it this way. Again change the 0.1 to change the space between.

Code: Select all

pos := scene.my.p0Pos + [(scene.my.p0Vel(0)*(scene.my.p0Radius + 0.1))/(scene.my.p0Vel(1)^2+scene.my.p0Vel(0)^2)^0.5,(scene.my.p0Vel(1)*(scene.my.p0Radius+0.1))/(scene.my.p0Vel(1)^2+scene.my.p0Vel(0)^2)^0.5]
