Okay.. how wold one make an internal clock which

counted up to X if A is true, else it counts down to 0.[/b]

I@A X
O@O
interval(100)
A -> O += 1;
!A -> O -= 1;
A = clamp(A, 0, X)

oh yeah. Syn. SOmethign odd going on with the Mux Demux stuff. I had a script working fine and then added one more mux and demux into it and it stopped working right and just did stupid stuff like a never ending climbing number.[/b]

How did you connect them, and did you use the new duplexer stuff? Mux and Demux is old stuff, although they do the same thing basically.

What kind of a function is one you must put at the top?

I mean, it would make sense if it was a function to initialize a system the other functions were dependent of, but it doesn't quite look like one to me.[/b]

Well, that's kinda the stupid thing, interval does not schedule at an interval, it indentical to schedule, except for one thing:

• Schedule(ms) removes any previously scheduled clock pulse
• Interval(ms) keeps any previously scheduled clock pulses

So, interval is merely a naming convention for a function that is similar to schedule, and I realize that it is stupid naming, but that was my thinking then. However, the name interval suggests that it is common for creating intervals, and that being said it doesn't have to be at the top to be useful, so the important thing is, interval does not pulse at intervals, it gives you the possibility to pulse at intervals. You could have an input that controls whether it should run the interval, hence you can write "A -> interval(20);", putting it at the top is simply if you want a static interval. And I've sometimes used interval instead of schedule in my scripts because it can simplify the code and vice versa.

thanks for the timer Code Syn. Now to adapt it to my needs. I am not used to that -> logic syntax yet. Never really programmed anything before so I am new to this stuff haha.


Umm.. I did it like...

O@ControlPack1O
ControlPack1O = send(FO, BO, TRigO, TLefO, UpO, DowO, LRigO, LLefO)

I@ControlPack1I
PitchFor = recv(ControlPack1I, 1)
PitchBac = recv(ControlPack1I, 2)
RollRig = recv(ControlPack1I, 7)
RollLef = recv(ControlPack1I, 8)

[Syranide]

That is correct.

mm maybe it was something that always wanted to break but I never noticed. it has been recoded and I think it works better anyway.

PS. + OT: anyone know a good source recorder tut?

Hey, Syn. In that pulser.. how come I can't do a -1 like this. I kind of want it so i don't need another line.

B = 1 
A = (B ? -1 : 0) 
Run -> Out += A;

You would think this would make it subtract as it is adding -1s to Out but it does not it just does Out + 1 instead of Out + -1

[Syranide]

As you didn't paste the entire code it is hard to tell, but assuming there is no other code.
It will always be 0 (or it should decrease by 1 each run).

I am having some problems with vecrotate(), when using normal constants I have no problems, but when using a variable that I have calculated before, it doesn't coop right.
Here is app what I am doing:

V1=vector(X1-X2,Y1-Y2,0)
V2=vector(1,1,0)
NV=vecrotate(V2,0,vecyaw(V1),0)

I'm not giving away what it is used for until its done.
Is there a way to do this without vecrotate?
I want to turn the V2 with V1's yaw.

[Syranide]

sin and cos should do it, but that should work like you've done it now, however I did notice that the rotation was kind of odd, or that I just misunderstood it. But as I said, sin and cos should be enough for such simple purposes.

[Shandolum]

Found the sinner in my expression, used some wrong words for V1, ups. Could happen to anybody.
But the rotate works good now. Will soon have my creation up on the site.

i could really use the clock thing on the gate if sumone could reword it
