Unpolished gearbox

[kilebantick]

I know that a few of these have been made in the past, but i thought i would take a crack

Gearbox.

Code: Select all

// Gear 1. Less than 35


scene.my.velocity(0) < 17.5 ? {scene.my.one = 0; scene.my.zero = 0; scene.my.seven = 0; scene.my.two = 0; scene.my.six = 0; scene.my.five = 0; scene.my.three = 2; scene.my.four = 2} : {}

//Gear 1 Shift up to 2

I have never been a master at thyme, but i am slowly learning. (Thankyou grady, for showing me that program, notepad++ (Its pretty handy)).

[Kilinich]

Too much unnecessary code.
One scene.my.gear is enough.

Put some code in gearbox circles like:
collideSet = {scene.my.gear == 1 ? 1 : 0}
and that's all

[KarateBrot]

Why do you only use velocity(0) instead of the absolute velocity?

[kilebantick]

I don't know, i am not a master at thyme, actually, i am pretty terrible with it

[KarateBrot]

I don't think you're bad at thyme.
To calculate the absolute velocity you don't need thyme. It's maths. You only have to translate it to thyme. You need to know about how to calculate the length of a vector.

So the "real" velocity/speed (velocity(0) and velocity(1) value put together) is:
speed = √( v(0)² + v(1)² )

Code: Select all

scene.my.speed = ( scene.my.velocity(0)^2 + scene.my.velocity(1)^2 )^0.5


It doesn't make any difference if you choose scene.my.speed or scene.my.velocity(0) if you just let it move on an horizontal plane. But it will make a difference if you let it climb hills. So if it doesn't move horizontally all the time you have to choose scene.my.speed.

TOO...CONFUSING!!! This is why I almost never use thyme. It gives me a headache...

[kilebantick]

Well, sonic, you are our new post whore

[Sonic]

...I am? I wasn't trying to be. I just like to share my opinion on things.

And that constitutes as an opinion?

Anyway, I can see what you're trying to get at with this scene.I can definitely tell what you mean by unpolished. Also, check the console while you're running the scene. Here's what I am getting in the console:

Code: Select all

-- Warning: Exception thrown: Not a real from /Users/nils/Work/phun/trunk/xcode/../Source/script/ValueConversions.cpp:32: T script::ObjectToValue(script::ObjectPtr) [with T = Long Double]

In your script you are dividing by zero! You have it so that scene.my.LTRBL = Sim.time. Then you subtract that from sim.time. You are always going to get zero. You also have scene.my.AHPD = e.pos and then you take the same position and subtract it. That means you are supposed to be getting [0/0, 0/0]! And yet, somehow, it calculates the velocity.

[Sonic]

That's weird. How does that work out if they both equal zero?

No, he's not dividing by zero. You have to look at the order of the variables and the calculation of the velocity. first velocity gets calculated, after that Scene.my.LTRBL = sim.time and scene.my.AHPD = e.pos.

To make it clearer:

1)
the code starts velocity gets calculated

2)
sim.time and e.pos get assigned to the variables.
for example Scene.my.LTRBL = 3.50 and scene.my.AHPD = [6.3,0]

3)
the code ends, algodoo does one simulation step, and the code starts again.

4)
velocity gets calculated with the values of the simulation step before and the actual values.
for example ([6.8,0] - [6.3,0]) / (3.51 - 3.50) and that's [0.5,0] / 0.01 there's no zero.

So they are not the same.

[standardtoaster]

Right. I forgot that it went in the order it was typed. Never mind what I had said about dividing by zero then. Kile still needs to look into why it gets the error in the console that I had said.

[KarateBrot]

yes it's weird sometimes. i recognized that you get an error for an unknown reason sometimes

That timer Speedometre is grady's code, so talk to him about it.
