square root and the square?
Trying to do Pythagoras to find a length using the vectors, but I cant find anything in the wiki on how to do either. Can anyone help?
On a side note, isnt it about time a full thyme guide with syntax and examples were made by those in the know? its isnt half annoying getting stuck all the time with very few resources (and those that are there, are often writen from different perspectives and difficultly level to related material, making it hard to understand what they've said) come on!

yeah i think some of our EXPERT thymers (Emil,Grady,Kile,Para,Conun) should all make like a Free E-book or a Wiki book for all Phunners.....

Re: square root and the square?
Are you talking about the distance formula?
Also, since when was I an expert thymer?

Just use the ^ thing. So square root is for example: (Mammoth)^0.5 and squared is (Mammoth)^2. Cool Mammoth squared!

The ^ is a carat/caret it can signify an exponent (3^4 or 3*3*3*3) or can be a logical operation to signify XOR (Exclusive Or) or AND.

Re: square root and the square?
You only need to know a bit of math. if you know how to do exponents in thyme that's all what you need. btw it's "math.pow(x,y)" or just type "x^y"
So what you need is
So what you need is
- Code: Select all
scene.my.distance =
((scene.my.pos2(0) - scene.my.pos1(0))^2 + (scene.my.pos2(1) - scene.my.pos1(1))^2)^0.5
