Need help with velocity calculation

[PlanckBanck]

maybe this`ll be karatebrots work again (that lil`mathsfreak ;P) but I just can`t get this scrpt to work

Code: Select all

vel := [(50 * sin(atan((app.mousepos(0)) - (e.pos(0)) / (app.mousepos(1) - e.pos(1))))), (50 * cos(atan((app.mousepos(0)) - (e.pos(0)) / (app.mousepos(1) - e.pos(1)))))]

I want the spawned object to have a velocity of 50m/s^2 while pointing at the cursor.
I used the arctan to calculate the angle of the vector pointing at the cursor first, then calculating the x and y velocities for tat angle.

well, that`s it! thanks up front!

there's no redirection for the proper trigonometric function for arctangents, unlike sin and cos.

the config.cfg file used to have 2 lines to redirect the functions

sin = {math.sin}
cos = {math.cos}

hovewer, it doesn't have for atan. this means you'll need to use math.atan instead of atan.
