why

You don't need 16 gigs
8 gigs is a luxury and anything else is pretty superfluous, especially for a cheaper-end rig like yours

512 ref my backpack is worth
Never had an unusual, I'd prefer my stranges :D
If I ever do get one it will probably be a p. fetti cosa or something.

Looks like your bp value took a dive

I agree though, I think p.fetti and orbiting fire are WAAAAY underrated

because it's the only map where it's actually a valid tactic

not true, it just seems to be the best because the playing area is tall and not very wide, perfect for rocket jumping
However, it's a very effective tactic on a number of maps

Well I'm sorry your main server is plr_hightower 24/7

The whole point is that I don't. Everyone tries to use market gardener on hightower, literally EVERYONE

Not likely, the only pusillanimous individual he's ever been in was his moms.

I certainly don't blame him. His mother's pusillanimous individual is NICE

No. Enough people use the gardener already, there's no need whatsoever for it to get easier to use

blah has been moved and rotated.
cube has moved and rotated relatively.


That's what I mean.

I see now. You should try to be more clear in future OPs
Here is the code I would use, if you converted the axis angles to euler angles with that coding resource

This code only assumes a two dimensional mirror, I can add functionality for three dimensions if you'd like

Code: [Select]

$posOffset = "0 5 0"

function getChildTransform(%parent)
{
    %pTrans = %parent.getTransform();
    %pPos = getWords(%pTrans,0,2);
    %pRot = axisToEuler(getWords(%pTrans,3,6));
    %offsetLen = vectorLen($posOffset);
    %offsetTheta = mAtan(getWord($posOffset,1),getWord($posOffset,0));

    %xComp = %offsetLen * mCos(%pRot + %offsetTheta);
    %yComp = %offsetLen * mSin(%pRot + %offsetTheta);

    return vectorAdd(%xComp SPC %yCom @ " 0",%pPos) SPC %pRot;
}

I've never used the axis to euler converter before, you may have to adjust by a factor of 90 degrees to get it perfect but this code will get you in the ballpark

Like you parent cube to blah
So when you move/rotate blah then cube moves/rotates relative to blah, keeping the same distance from it and stuff

Uhh, excuse me if I'm misunderstanding you here, but just copy the exact rotation numbers from the parent object...

Rotondo was everyone but then they eventually split off and formed their own personalities.

If I recall correctly, trader sumz and wedge all grew their own bodies

What do you mean "relative"? Do you want both objects to be facing the same direction, or towards the same point, or what?
