Deg To Rad not working correctly?

[Demian]

Code: [Select]

yaw(mDegtoRad(180));
I expected that to turn me 180 degrees but instead it only turned me a degree or two. What am I doing wrong? I'm just doing this in the console.

Tested this in my server:

Code: [Select]

echo(mDegtoRad(180));
3.14159
Maybe you aren't using it incorrectly?

The Appendix says:


I'm not sure what this means, but if it helps.

[Demian]

The appendix was the first thing I checked but it didn't help. I just want my player to turn 180 degrees. The command in OP should work but it doesn't.

[Kalphiter]

%rad = %d / 360 * 2 * $pi;
This is the way to doit. mDegtoRad(180) does this correctly. There is nothing wrong with the function.




Try yaw($pi*360*2);
I have no idea why it works

[Demian]

yaw($pi*360); and yaw($pi*360*2); both turn the player 180 degrees. yaw($pi*180); turns the player 120 degrees. This makes no sense to me.

I know,

I have no idea why it works

It appears to be that the max value for yaw is between 1335 and 1336.
Anything over that number makes you do a 180.

I feel like yaw() is what's bound to your mouse - use $mvYaw = X instead.
For example, if I remember right, $mvYaw = $pi / 2 turns you 90 degrees.

Indeed it does. It is slightly inaccurate though, after a couple of times it's off by a degree or so.

How do I turn 360 degrees?

Code: [Select]

yaw($mvYaw=$pi*2);Is not working, it only turns 180 degrees.

Do that twice?

Why not just use

Code: [Select]

yaw(180); instead of making it complicated like that...?

Clearly because yaw uses radians

[Nexus]

yaw() doesnt use radians

It is a function that converts the magnitude of your mouse movement into a direction for your player to turn.  I have found that it is an exponential scale, and doing yaw(100); three times is not equal to doing yaw(300);

$mvyaw just uses a radian input between pi and negative pi

I do not know alot of default game functions, so I use %rad = %deg * (3.14159265/180);

No no, you don't use yaw() at all, you just set $mvYaw to the value you wish to turn and it handles it.

Example:

Code: [Select]

$mvYaw = $pi / 4;

[Ipquarx]

%rad = %deg * (3.14159265/180);

Torque hates anything that is more precise than 5 decimal places.
It will come out as 3.14159 / 180.

And also, you don't turn 360 degrees. That's an entire circle, you'd end up in the exact same spot as you started in.
