 Problems with vector DegRotate and other Qs whenever I use it it says I am passing a <vector> argument when I am not: Code: self.Vel = self.Vel:DegRotate(turnamount); Also how would I go about getting a list of all bullets and grenades in MoveableMan, I know .Actors but thats about all.

Re: Problems with vector DegRotate and other Qs How are you defining turnamount?

Re: Problems with vector DegRotate and other Qs Code: if MovableMan:IsActor(self.target) then
local targetdir = Vector(-(self.target.Pos.Y-self.Pos.Y),(self.target.Pos.X-self.Pos.X)).AbsDegAngle;
if targetdir ~= self.Vel.AbsDegAngle then
self.Vel = self.Vel:DegRotate(targetdir - self.Vel.AbsDegAngle);
end
end

Re: Problems with vector DegRotate and other Qs Code: if MovableMan:IsActor(self.target) then
local targetdir = math.atan2(self.target.Pos.Y-self.Pos.Y),(self.target.Pos.X-self.Pos.X)
local totalvel = math.sqrt(self.Vel.X ^ 2 + self.Vel.Y ^ 2)
self.Vel = Vector(totalvel * math.cos(targetdir) , totalvel * math.sin(targetdir))
end No need to do it the hard way. You may have to negate the first argumen of math.atan2. Can't think right now.

Re: Problems with vector DegRotate and other Qs Yes I suppose I could do it like that but why is the current method not working? I am giving it a number but it thinks I am giving a number and a vector which I am not, I'm concerned it might be broken.

Re: Problems with vector DegRotate and other Qs I dunno. I didn't bother to check the lua docs for it or anything. Just use my method if it works.

Code: self.Vel:DegRotate(targetdir - self.Vel.AbsDegAngle); self.Vel is a vector. You should've noticed something odd when it was telling you you provided two arguments. This would be the only way to run the function without passing it as an argument-- Code: self.Vel.DegRotate(targetdir - self.Vel.AbsDegAngle); and I'm not sure that would work. It'd probably give you the same no overload message, except your arguments would match perfectly. It's one of the issues I encountered with CastObstacleRay as well.

Re: Problems with vector DegRotate and other Qs Code: SceneMan:CastObstacleRay(Vector(self.Pos.X - self.Vel.X * 4, self.Pos.Y - self.Vel.Y * 4),Vector(avgx,avgy),self.unusedvector,self.unusedvector,0,0,1) That's a working castobstacleray. /offtopic.

Re: Problems with vector DegRotate and other Qs Ok that is working but now it is complaining I am sending a 'number' instead of a 'custom [float]'.

Re: Problems with vector DegRotate and other Qs How do I convert from 'number' to 'custom [float]'?
