(flimsynimsy) how to rotate points_around_y

[acoustic veldt]

i have a polygonial item display and im using the polygon areaobject for the first time, but the polygon doesn't line up with the item display, so id like to rotate the generated circle (that has 16 sides) (i can't rotate the model)

Hi I'm AutoThreadBot! Don't mind me, I'll just be adding the helper team to this thread so they can see it. A human will get to you soon.

i want the flames to be in the edges

/ex playeffect effect:FLAME offset:0 visibility:1000 at:<location[75.5,100,55.5,ft24].points_around_y[radius=25;points=16].to_polygon.with_y_min[0].with_y_max[300].outline> quantity:1

this is the command im running

the actual flames are correct, just not rotated properly?

[acoustic veldt]

yes

this is a probably horribly done impl that seems to work

RotatePoints:
  type: task
  script:
  - define loc <player.location>
  - define points <[loc].points_around_y[radius=3;points=4]>
  - foreach <[points]> as:point:
    - define vector <[point].sub[<[loc]>]>
    - define vector <[vector].rotate_around_y[<element[0].to_radians>]>
    - playeffect at:<[loc].add[<[vector]>]> effect:flame offset:0
  - wait 5t
  - foreach <[points]> as:point:
    - define vector <[point].sub[<[loc]>]>
    - define vector <[vector].rotate_around_y[<element[45].to_radians>]>
    - playeffect at:<[loc].add[<[vector]>]> effect:soul_fire_flame offset:0

get the vector between the center and the point, then rotate it around y lmao

RotatePoints:
  type: task
  script:
  - define loc <player.location.above[0.2]>
  - define points <[loc].points_around_y[radius=3;points=4]>
  - define rotatedPoints <list>
  - foreach <[points]> as:point:
    - define vector <[point].sub[<[loc]>]>
    - define vector <[vector].rotate_around_y[<element[45].to_radians>]>
    - define rotatedPoints:->:<[loc].add[<[vector]>]>
  - playeffect at:<[rotatedPoints]> effect:soul_fire_flame offset:0

does the trick as far as I can tell

[acoustic veldt]

oh so just do it manually 💀

[limpid fossil]

Lmao

Could use parse I guess?

[acoustic veldt]

id rather just do this lol

[limpid fossil]

Don’t forget to close?

That looks cool

sounds good, tysm ricky
