Was that the problem? If not, make sure that you are reading from the appvar, and not from some random place.

He was reading a two-byte number as one byte.

And on that note, remember to store it as a two-byte number too -- VALUE→{POINTER}r

So I have two objects, and I'm trying to make one object shoot a projectile at another.  How would one go about that?
(I've been trying to do this all night to no avail :P)
A straight path, or a parabolic one?
Straight.  Trying to not make it too complicated :P

Is the object you are trying to hit moving?

No, I'm not trying to make it aim ahead.
Just taking the current X,Y coordinates of the shooting object, the current X,Y coordinates of the target, and somehow make the bullet's velocity aim at the target.

If X,Y is your own position, and C,D is the objects position, and A,B is the velocity of your object:

Code: [Select]
sqrt(abs(X-C)/256^2+(abs(Y-D)/256^2))->L
C-X//L->A
D-Y//L->B
If your position variables are in x256 style.

What does *256 do?  I saw it in a program in the axe documentation but I just ignored it.

Technically, *256 multiplies by 256.  There's some bitwise uses etc iirc but that's pretty advanced :P
When used this way, *256 basically means that for every one pixel on the screen is 256 "virtual pixels" or something.  So, to move an object 1 pixel on the screen you'd have to add 256 to the location variable.
It's normally called inflation, and helps precision stuffs.
(/me isn't good at explaining stuff XD)

So, not-signed division in the first line, and signed in the other two?  Cool, thanks :D

Indeed, since square roots only return positive numbers, you only need an unsigned division in the first line ^^

Well, if your positions are in *256 style, wouldn't their squares overflow? You'd have to divide by 256 before squaring, methinks.

So just to clarify (because it's acting odd for me):
X,Y = player location
C,D = target location
A,B = projectile velocity

Also since there isn't a sqrt() token, is that 2nd + x2?

EDIT: wait if there isn't any inflation will it work properly?  In the test program I made there isn't any

If there is no inflation, your bullets won't be able to move with enough precision.  Unless, do your bullets have x256 precision and your positions are just in regular x1 precision?

Before, it was x1.  I'm modding it to work with x256 all around atm to see if I can get it :P
