Hey all,
Does anyone have a good resource on understanding the flash coordinate system - it is beyond conventional.
I am trying to design a system where a missile (or other object) tracks the mouse around the screen. However the missile only has a max rotation, so if the mouse is behind it, it slowly turns in an arc until it can lock-on to the mouse’s position.
However, when trying to determine the x/y position, you cannot use x=cos(ang) or y=sin(ang). It seems opposite, such as x=sin(ang), y=cos(ang) - contrary to what it should be. Furthermore, the quandrant system is odd, the bottom half is 0-180, and the top half is -1 to -180…
So I am beyond confused. I am either hoping their is a way to change the coordinate system (like in many other programming languages) or a resource on programming physical movement using the current system.
Thank you,
Elf
Edit - I did some more research and discovered that rotation uses degrees and everything else is radians. I have fixed my errors now, I didn’t realise that not everything was degrees
