Rotating Vectors

thx

well blue is indeed -1 of red
but it doesn't point onto the front part ( dont know the name rn ) of the ship

[wise heart]

seems like the particles are offset a bit, ie at corner of block instead of cntre

cant tell from the pic

[jolly knot]

imma try drawing currentLocation.getDirection.Y + yaw

[wise heart]

oh wait

so it points correctly when ur rotated a multiple of 90 degrees

[jolly knot]

WorldEdit
that thing where both lines start is center of whole schematic

[wise heart]

but not otherwise

[jolly knot]

yep

[wise heart]

did it work for all multiples of 90 like 90 or 270 or just 0 and 180

[jolly knot]

oh looks like it works only for 0

[wise heart]

ok

[jolly knot]

imma try

[wise heart]

i think yaw is in degrees

and sin and cos uses radians

0 works cuz 0 degrees is 0 radians

[jolly knot]

so I should try converting it

[wise heart]

ye

[jolly knot]

it matches with the red line

[jolly knot]

yaw = Math.toRadians(yaw);
fixed it

[wise heart]

ye

[wise heart]

this is the direction for 90 radians

[wise heart]

which lines up with this

[jolly knot]

blue line
hard to see but goes straight towards the "nose"

[wise heart]

yep i see

how do u plan on dealing with holes?

[jolly knot]

good idea 😄

no clue

prob gonna get block next to it
and set it to the hole

or have 2 variants of schemes
1 for 90 degrees
and 1 for 45

[wise heart]

or 3

0,30,45

actually why not build a 0 and a 15

[jolly knot]

yep
but even just moving those ships was a big pain in the ass

[wise heart]

wait nvm

are players gonna be in em?

[jolly knot]

yep

[wise heart]

ah

[jolly knot]

thx tho
u even fixed my 2nd problem
which was ships weren't moving in the right direction

wanna see it in action?

[wise heart]

yepls

[jolly knot]

gimme minute

[wise heart]

sure

[jolly knot]

oh again thx
found out a bug in that

https://youtu.be/vuTS5iKzUmQ

[wise heart]

processing

[jolly knot]

SD processing

after it processes itself
you will be able to see that the ship can't rotate past 90degrees

ok it processed

[wise heart]

can it also turn 90 degrees the other way?

[jolly knot]

thats the bug I found thanks to u

at the beggining it couldnt go right because it was at 90 degrees

oh no
im just stupid

nvm 😄

[wise heart]

so uhhh

what is it?

[jolly knot]

I have made Helm ( Wheel) which converts the rotation to Stemp ( that little thingy in the water )
and the stemp should give back a rotation to the ship

but I was using helm rotation for the rotation

soo thats why prob

oh it even tho stopped at 90 degrees

[wise heart]

so it doenst work?

[jolly knot]

nah

I have to increase stemp return value every ship update
therefore it doesn't stay at same rotation ( ship ) but rotates continuously

[wise heart]

i just read what you wrote and still idk if it works or not 😂

[jolly knot]

nah it doesnt rn

[wise heart]

what's the issue?

[jolly knot]

u know how old ships work?

[wise heart]

yes

i play sea of theives so i'm assuming those are accurate enf

[jolly knot]

well if you start rotating to the right
you need to rotate the Stemp to the left

Thats what this class is doing
But it sofar just made it -1*
therefore it staid at same rotation

[jolly knot]

well im making ripoff that:D
i even have goldhoarder
emissions ..

[wise heart]

nice

[jolly knot]

you get what i mean?

[wise heart]

yes and no what do you mean it made it to -1 therefore it stays at that

[jolly knot]

my explanation skills suck 😄

lemme think of way to explain that

[wise heart]

idek what -1 is

[jolly knot]

-1*

it rotates + into - and - into +

basic math

could we DM?

[wise heart]

sure
