I do NOT get vectors.
2004-12-11, 12:09 PM #1
AT ALL. AAAARGH.

Not a single one of my cogs using vectors works properly.

Example:
Code: 
user1:
  rain_chn=PlaySoundLocal(rain_snd, 0.7, 0, 0x1);
  numSurfs = GetSurfaceCount();
  for(x = 0; x < numSurfs; x = x + 1){
    if(GetSurfaceMat(i) == rainmat) {
	SetFaceGeoMode(x, 4);
	rainfall=SlideSurface(x, rainvec, 1.5);
    }
  }
return;


This should slide all surfaces with the rainmat downward (vector rainvec is defined in JED as '(0/0/-1)') and even if that's wrong it should slide them somewhere!

Code: 
user0:
if(on==0) {
on=1;
for(i=0; i<7; i=i+2) tree0=CreateThingAtPos(tree, tsec, tpos0, '0 0 0');
for(i=1; i<7; i=i+2) tree0=CreateThingAtPos(tree, tsec, tpos0, '0 180 0');
}
return;


tpos0-6 are all vectors with values in JED like (2.1/-16.825/2.275).

WHY DO NONE OF THESE WORK?!

[edit] obviously I edited just as Grismath posted below -- I asked why he was incrementing the loops by 2; I didn't see that one of them was for(x=0;...) and the other was for(x=1;...)[/edit]

I see no reason they shouldn't work... hmm..
May the mass times acceleration be with you.

Yes I do. That's why I have 2 for loops, one handles evens (starting at 0, then +2), and the other handles odds (starting at 1, then +2).

Code: 
user1:
  rain_chn=PlaySoundLocal(rain_snd, 0.7, 0, 0x1);
  numSurfs = GetSurfaceCount();
  for(x = 0; x < numSurfs; x = x + 1){
    if(GetSurfaceMat(i) == rainmat) {
	SetFaceGeoMode(x, 4);
	rainfall=SlideSurface(x, rainvec, 1.5);
    }
  }
return;

...Thats busted...

Code: 
user1:
  rain_chn=PlaySoundLocal(rain_snd, 0.7, 0, 0x1);
  numSurfs = GetSurfaceCount();
  for(x = 0; x < numSurfs; x = x + 1){
    if(GetSurfaceMat(x) == rainmat) {
	SetFaceGeoMode(x, 4);
	rainfall=SlideSurface(x, rainvec, 1.5);
    }
  }
return;


That should work. The variable in "GetSurfaceMat()" was wrong. As for the other one . . . is your template right?
And when the moment is right, I'm gonna fly a kite.
