Title: axis_integrator
Post by: zzz on September 19, 2015, 06:41:18 pm

It seems the axis_integrator function no longer exists, which is a bit worrying as it's key to turret functionality  :-[

Axis integrator was just a piece of js injected into vehicle scripts. To use it, simply include this code:

Code: [Select]

function axis_integrator(maxspeed,maxaccel,clamp_min,clamp_max){
  this.mac = maxaccel ? maxaccel : 1.0;
  this.msp = maxspeed;
  this.speed = 0;
  this.value = 0;
  this.targ = 0;
  this.cmin = clamp_min!=undefined ? clamp_min : Number.NEGATIVE_INFINITY;
  this.cmax = clamp_max!=undefined ? clamp_max : Number.POSITIVE_INFINITY;
}

axis_integrator.prototype.set = function(v){this.targ = v}
axis_integrator.prototype.set_max_speed = function(v){this.msp = v}
axis_integrator.prototype.changed = function(dt){
  var ob = this.speed;
  var dm = this.mac*dt;
  if(this.targ > ob+dm)
    this.speed += dm;
  else if(this.targ < ob-dm)
    this.speed -= dm;
  else
    this.speed = this.targ;
  var ov = this.value;
  this.value += this.speed*this.msp*dt;
  if(this.value < this.cmin) this.value = this.cmin;
  if(this.value > this.cmax) this.value = this.cmax;
  return ov != this.value;
}

Thanks. It is working now. What values does the direction float3 {x:0.0,y:0.0,z:0.0} field of this.fire take? I know they're the same setup as the spotlight directions but as mine only needed orthog angles I got past them without really understanding them. Some direction values make the projectile speed and size really big or small.

Absolute value of the dir vector multiplies the speed, so you should keep it a unit vector (but that wasn't intended, I'll normalize it). It should not affect the size though.
