Player Looking Direction?

[berlinermauer]

Hi Guys,

I want to get the Player Locking Direction to improve the walking of my bot.

Now is there an Offset in the Player Structure?

Or are there any other ways to do this like moving a step forward and then check if the x was in/decreased etc.

Thank you!

Base + 0x7A8 if I remember correctly is horizontal rotation in radians... If you'd rather use degrees for some reason though just remember that the radians to degrees formula is radians * 180 / Pi.

WoW thank you it works.

Great that you wrote the Transformation formula too, because i didnt have it in the scool yet.

Now what i did is to form it into degree and use tangens.

Someone needs to write a basic trig tutorial in the programming section, imo. I know for a long time, I just copy-pasted atan2(...) not having any clue what it did.

Or you know.. you could ****ing go to school. :P

Outrageous

I fail with my mathematical formulars :[

Perhaps its just because i dont know how long a turn about 360 degreees takes.

Does anyone know?

Not everyone here has taken trig. I'm in honors classes, and my school insists on me learning every damn thing about algebra before even touching trig/circles/calc.

I was actually playing around with this the other day

RotationRadians = Read<float>(Base + 0x7A8);

// radians to degrees
RotationDegrees = (RotationRadians * 180) / PI;
// degrees to radians
RotationRadians = (RotationDegrees * PI) / 180;

in case you want to calculate the new rotation in degrees, you have to write it back as radians, also is seems like you can simply write a new rotation at the address without being disconnected, unlike nudging x, y or z

Mind you that the wow calculates degrees from north, unlike the unit circle.

The map set up like this:

which is a good idea

School is poo.

On topic: To see how long it takes to turn... well... don't use that method. Just make a while loop until you turn to the right amount.


Edit: Shit, just realised how old this thread was xD

keep in mind that orientation 0 means that the player looks at (1/0). So create a matrix rotating orientation radians and multiply it with 1/0. Then you have the vector you are facing at.
