Hello,
I have building script that allows players to move objects around. When you use SIN and COS (to get the ratio of the distance to move based upon the direction the object is moving) all works fine until you divide(or multiply by .99999 or less)...
For instance:
SIN of 52 degrees is: 0.78801075360672195669397778783585
COS of 52 degrees is: 0.61566147532565827966881109284366
if I wanted to move the object 1m in the forward direction, I would do the following:
_pos = getPosWorld Object;
_xpos = _pos select 0;
_ypos = _pos select 0;
_zpos = _pos select 0;
Object setPositonWorld [_xpos + (cos(52) * 1),_ypos + (cos(52) * 1),_zpos];
this would move the object forward in the direction it's heading.
if I want to do it by .1 instead of 1 is where the issue is.
Since the significant values are only 6 places, my COS and SIN are:
SIN of 52 degrees is: 0.78801
COS of 52 degrees is: 0.61566
when I take 1/10th of this value I get:
SIN of 52 degrees * 1/10th: 0.07880
COS of 52 degrees * 1/10th: 0.06156
This skews the direction of the object and makes it move a little right or left.
This is not precise enough, I suggest bringing it to 10 significant values.
