oh god help meeeeeeeeeee

idk how to do it.

what is that

what is that

something that you will learn in years to come

wait, I think I might be able to solve my own suggestion.

I'm working on a cubic interpolation function.

Code: [Select]

function cubicInterpolate1D(%pa,%pb,%pc,%pd,%x)
{
%ax3 = (((-1/2) * %pa) + ((3/2) * %pb) + ((-3/2) * %pc) + ((1/2) * %pd)) * mPow(%x, 3) //generate ax3
%bx2 = (%pa + ((-5/2) * %pb) + (2 * %pc) + ((-1/2) * %pd)) * mPow(%x, 2); //generate bx2
%cx = ((-1/2) * %pa + (1/2) * %pc) * %x) //generate cx
return %ax3 + %bx2 + %cx + %pa
}idk if this generates correct results.

wtf are you trying to do axolotl? this looks like rocket science to me

[Port]

more like simplex noise

[Axolotl]

help me I goofed up on it hard

Code: [Select]

function cubicInterpolate1D(%pa,%pb,%pc,%pd,%x) //generate a cubic curve by Catmull-Rom spline
{
%ax3 = ((-0.5 * %pa) + (1.5 * %pb) + (-1.5 * %pc) + (0.5 * %pd)) * mPow(%x, 3); //generate ax3
%bx2 = (%pa + (-2.5 * %pb) + (2 * %pc) + (-0.5 * %pd)) * mPow(%x, 2); //generate bx2
%cx = ((-0.5 * %pa) + (0.5 * %pc) * %x); //generate cx
return %ax3 + %bx2 + %cx + %pa;
}

function serverCmdCreateCubicCurve(%cl,%pa,%pb,%pc,%pd,%scale)
{
for(%i = 0; %i <= %scale * 4; %i++)
{
%brick = new fxDTSBrick()
{
dataBlock = "brick4xCubeData";
position = 0 SPC %i * 2 SPC cubicInterpolate1D(%pa,%pb,%pc,%pd,%i / %scale);
stackBL_ID = %cl.bl_id;
};
echo(%brick);
%brick.plant();
}
}

more like simplex noise

what a brilliant idea, but you do it :c

[otto-san]

can you even have datablock names as strings?

[Axolotl]

can you even have datablock names as strings?

Dumping a brick returns a stringed datablock

[Port]

can you even have datablock names as strings?

...

you can have anything as a string

if there is an object with the ID 1000 and the name Donut

==>echo( isObject( "Donut" ) );
1
==>echo( isObject( "1000" ) );
1

and datablocks are just regular objects
you can even use setName on them

[Axolotl]

aaaghhhhh

I only know how to handle linear and quadratic! I'll leave this to Port, I think he has better education and is able to do something like this.

If he can't handle it, then we are doomed unless somebody else can.

i was just wondering if torque would see "Brick4xCubeData" as a string instead of an object, but i guess it won't

It won't, I've tried it.
