 Lua Coding Help (Random Spinning Directions) Ok, So for my Silly Federation I want the Rocket Launcher to be powerful, but go up and down randomly. Not just ---\__Crash but like /\/\/\/\/\/\----Crash So its like Up down curves and random
If anybody at all can refer me to a Wiki For the Lua i'd be grateful. Also if maximdude is on here i ♥♥♥♥ love you man.

Re: Lua Coding Help (Random Spinning Directions) Code: function Create(self)
function sinewave(amplitude,wavenumber,angvel,phase)
return amplitude * math.sin(wavenumber - angvel + phase / 30);
end
function sawtooth(x,range,slope)
return (x % range) * slope
end
self.initialy = self.Pos.Y - 20;
end
function Update(self)
--self.Pos.Y = self.initialy + sinewave(30,1,math.pi,self.Pos.X);
self.Pos.Y = self.initialy + sawtooth(self.Pos.X,100,0.5);
end Code: function Create(self)
function sinewave(amplitude,wavenumber,angvel,phase)
return amplitude * math.sin(wavenumber - angvel + phase / 20);
end
self.initialy = self.Pos.Y;
end
function Update(self)
self.Pos.Y = self.initialy + sinewave(40,1,math.pi / 2,self.Pos.X);
end Try these out, see what you think. They're not exactly random, but they do go up and down in a fixed way. Adding an element of random-ness would be fairly easy, as well.

Re: Lua Coding Help (Random Spinning Directions) Alright Yeah, that works decently except Its now what i'm looking for. I want it to rotate the missile not move it up and down, so basically the rocket will OrienttoVel and just look good.
How would i do that, Lua Docs don't Seem to help, however i'm new to lua and cant really understand.

Re: Lua Coding Help (Random Spinning Directions) Lua Docs are for the functions.
To learn lua itself, the offical lua site has some good tutorials.

EDIT:
Also you need to look at the function dump, and read some code, as the lua docs are half arsed.
