Title: Aino's Functions
Post by: Aino on July 11, 2011, 11:54:38 PM

I think it is time for me to release all of my functions and stuff I've made, some fo them are large and others are small snippets I use in almost everything!

GetMouse is a function tracking where the player has his/her mouse on the map itself, it does not return any values useable for the screen, atleast it will become very unstable and might not work as you want.

Code: [Select]

function GetMouseX()
	
	return(GetCameraX()+(((GetMouseScreenX()-(GetScreenWidth()/2)))*GetCameraZoom()))
	
end

function GetMouseY()
	
	return(GetCameraY()+(((GetMouseScreenY()-GetScreenHeight()/2))*GetCameraZoom()))
	
end

This code snippet is used in HoveringOverRoid()

DistanceSquared will simplify the use of Pythagoras Theorem, it is very useful as you don't need to do anything much than fill in the arguments values!

Code: [Select]

function DistanceSquared(x1,y1,x2,y2)
	
	local Xd = x1-x2
	local Yd = y1-y2
	return((Xd^2)+(Yd^2))
	
end

This code snippet is used in HoveringOverRoid()

(click to show/hide)

Checks if the player has his/her mouse over a roid, very useful when doing visuals of checking for a click on an asteroid!

Code: [Select]

function HoveringOverRoid(returntype)
	results = nil
	for i = 0,1000 do
		
		local checkedroid = GetAsteroid(i)
		
		if checkedroid ~= nil then
			if math.sqrt(DistanceSquared(checkedroid.position.x,checkedroid.position.y,GetMouseX(),GetMouseY())) < checkedroid.Radius then
				
				if returntype == "ID" then
					results = checkedroid.id
				elseif returntype == "Asteroid" then
					results = checkedroid
				else
					results = true
				end
				break
			end
			
			return(results)
		end
	else
		break
	end
end

Basically, it returns itself, meaning you can do GetAsteroid(HoveringOverRoid("ID"))

If you have "Asteroid" it gives the GetAsteroid() itself, and ID is... the id of the asteroid and nothing is true/fasle. This might come in very handy :)

Uses Code snippets:

GetMouseX/Y()
DistanceSquared()

Added leaderboards ;D

This is awesome dude. :> I have used DrawText and GetMouseX/Y a lot myself, they are extremely useful. Thanks. ^_^

now then,
would it be best to simply put one link to this page in the Custom Level thread, or put them all seperately in the Level thread??

im thinking the first option for the same reasons as the maps themselves...

Choose what you like :P

This topic might be updated fairly often, so it's a good idea with the first option :)

Adding my Minimap function up: AWS, update! :D

It'll be one of my most fancy thing I've done here till now(IMO), but now... I'm proud of everything I make x)

So I'll be adding the actual code and a nice demo map, to show how it works! :D

Also, hoping not asking too much: can I get this stickied? :D

We are getting a lot of stickies.
Maybe it would be better to just un-sticky Annikk's Mechanics, since both this thead and Annikk's Mechanics are linked to from this sticky (http://www.dyson-game.com/smf/index.php?topic=1200.0)..

Thats true... Maybe just have it like is :P

Well it's not really fair that my thread is stickied and yours isn't.. :> And we already have too many stickies to be honest. I think this would be a sensible way to reduce them a bit.

1. Make subforum.
2. Move threads.
3. ????
4. PROFIT

I vote up for Subforum :D

I think the forum needs it, since there is such a large mess between the help topics and map releases! :P

Added my map-editor into here :)

The list is getting very long ;D

aino - so, i had a thought....
firstly - i LOVE the fact that you have 2 versions of the minimap - Playable and Unplayable (just code) version... VERY helpful for the moron coder like myself...

secondly - i admit i havent looked at it yet, but is there a way for the player to choose whether the minimap is on or off?? if not, it would be good to add that option so that if you want to see it breifly, you can turn it on, and then when youre done with it, turn it off.
otherwise i can envision the player getting irritated that a box is taking up valuable screen space.

just a thought, and as i said, i havent seen it yet so maybe youve already thought of that.

ps- we'll sort out what we PMd about once all the other code stuff is working... ;D

Taking up valuable screen space? It magnifies by 3 if you hold over it :P Other than that it barely take any space :P

ok, cool.

where should i put your minimap code in relation to levellogic, etc??

Title: Re: Aino's Functions
Post by: Aino on July 31, 2011, 07:37:05 AM

Minimap ain't uning LevelLogic, add the init and the DrawMinimap function, then add the content of the screendraw if you use it already(which I reckon you do with the Rally code) and just do an init similiar to the demo, the first value is a true/false(boolean) if the whole map should be shown even if the player haven't discovered it yet, or false if not. The two others will only move the map, or display alittle if you have placed asteroids on one side only, they are x and y respectively :)
