Hi everyone,

Can anyone direct me to any good tutorials on vector manipulation where commands such as these (vec_for_angle, vec_for_screen, vec_to_screen etc.)are explained a little better than in the Gamestudio Help Manual by showing actual applicative use of these commands?

Thanks,

I can remember a tutorial by TripleX, though I may be wrong.

Anyway, the best way to learn those commands is by making a small test level (big hollow cube, default texture) and mess around with 2 entities(like warlock.mdl) using those vec_*_* commands. You can then actually see what happens and you'll understand it better.

Also it can be helpful making a panel that displays the position(x,y,z) and the angles(pan,tilt,roll) of both entities aswell as of the TEMP vector. you can then also see how some variables change(as you do not always get a visible result)

There is such a tutorial! ! It is by Grimber. I can't find it online, though I know Grimber does have a website with lots of tutorials and code snippets, so he may have it. Otherwise, you can PM me your email and I will mail it to ya

best,
