Hi!

how do i do this:



How do I make entity2 pan around entity1, when entity1 is paning?

thanks

- Muhsin Kaymak

ent2.x = ent1.x-256*sin(ent1.pan);
ent2.y = ent1.y-256*cos(ent1.pan);
// ent2.pan = ent1.pan; // remove the comment if you like to

Alternatively you can use vec_rotate.

thanks, it works!

I got another question:

how can I choose a specific position for entity2, so it still moves around entity1 and is, lets say 50 quants back and 150 quants left of entity1, if you understand?

thanks!

var extra_ang = 20;
var distance = 200;
ent2.x = ent1.x-distance *sin(ent1.pan + extra_ang );
ent2.y = ent1.y-distance *cos(ent1.pan + extra_ang );

"how can I choose a specific position for entity2, so it still moves around entity1 and is, lets say 50 quants back and 150 quants left of entity1, if you understand?"


As I've said before, use vec_rotate:

vec_set(ent2.x,vector(-50,150,0));
vec_rotate(ent2.x,ent1.pan);
vec_add(ent2.x,ent1.x);

Thanks for the answers!

I tried out Quadraxes answer, and it worked.

Thanks!
