Average Direction & Magnitude of an object, Help!

[winged tinsel]

you mean average direction of list of vectors or something else?

if yes you just add all of the Xs,Ys and Zs into 3 variables and divide them by the amount of vectors
for the magnitude you just add them all up and divide by ammount

[ebon niche]

nah just the current object in hand like get equipped objects of the dominant hand

[winged tinsel]

are you trying to get velocity of an object?

[ebon niche]

I Have the vel just not the a.d and a.m

[winged tinsel]

i just don't really understand what you mean by "average direction of object"

[ebon niche]

it's alright

[grim portal]

average needs more than 1 vector

are you comparing vectors across multipke frames, or more within the same frame

[ebon niche]

multiple

[winged tinsel]

are you trying to get average direction object is moving in some time frame?

[ebon niche]

yes

[grim portal]

so across frames

[ebon niche]

either way would work

[grim portal]

well ye, i got work. That makes it a lil more clear. Im sure @winged tinsel can take it now

[ebon niche]

Alr thx

[winged tinsel]

oh boy, thats gonna be fun

[grim portal]

but when u have average direction, just vector get magnitude it

[ebon niche]

mb 😭

[ebon niche]

alr got it

[grim portal]

for average magnitude

[grim portal]

however your not adding elements, your adding all vectors & dividing the list count put into xyz of a vector 3 create

[winged tinsel]

so basically you need to save the velocity of the object a lot of times per second
then you save allat in a list
after that you get the average of the vectors like what i said earlier
more times you save = more presicion but more lag and possible problems with list limits

[winged tinsel]

i meant save all xs in 1 variable, all ys in another and all zs in third

[grim portal]

also unrelated bc u dont need it but you get elements added together in a vector, u just dot by (1,1,1)

[ebon niche]

is there way too reduce the lag if there were multiple people in the room?

[grim portal]

yeah all need is 1 vector variable & for each bc i dont think list sum works for vectors

[winged tinsel]

"if player is authority" ig

[ebon niche]

alr

[winged tinsel]

or just get the player who has the object and use "if player is valid and local"

[ebon niche]

ill try both

[winged tinsel]

you have to play with values to get the balance between lag and presicion

[ebon niche]

so it can't be static?

[grim portal]

that changes depending on scope
room = room authority
object board = objects authority

[grim portal]

and use object get authority as player input

[winged tinsel]

just try different values of how often you save and when you think its good enough you just keep it at that value

[ebon niche]

alr mb for the extra explanation

[winged tinsel]

nah, it's alr

[ebon niche]

got it

[winged tinsel]

there are much dumber people here ngl

(not to offense anyone)

[ebon niche]

nah you good chief 😭

ill give it a try in a bit with all that in mind
