RWarp Mod: 3D directional warp

[id_skew]

The current RWarp implementation of directional warp supports X and Y only. The following uses the character camera angle and calculates for X, Y and Z accordingly using the polar equation of a sphere.

I wrote this for my own warp plugin a few months ago, but I've gotten lazy lately and unless I want to do something special, I find myself using the posted compiles. If someone could throw this into a compile from now on, that would be great.

Replace:

FLOAT angle = (FLOAT)((pChar->Heading)*0.0123); 
FLOAT dissafegoto = (FLOAT)atof(Y); 
DoWarp(pChar->Y + (FLOAT)(dissafegoto * cos(angle)), pChar->X + (FLOAT)(dissafegoto * sin(angle)), pChar->Z);

with the following:

double Heading=pChar->Heading/(256/PI);
double CameraAngle=pChar->CameraAngle/(256/PI);
float posX=(float)(atof(Y)*sin(Heading)*cos(CameraAngle)+pChar->X);
float posY=(float)(atof(Y)*cos(Heading)*cos(CameraAngle)+pChar->Y);
float posZ=(float)(atof(Y)*sin(CameraAngle)+pChar->Z);
DoWarp(posY, posX, posZ);

Holy crap you gave me a good idea

Do you mind if I steal and rape the shit out of this code as long as I give you credit?

 

[id_skew]

Yeah, I'm big on credit.

updated rwarp. very nice work. always wanted to do something like that. just not sure how .. thanks

So correct me if im wrong but this allows you to say look up at a ledge and using a distance (guess of course) warp towards it?

 

[Riddlerr]

yes basiclly.. it will warp in the direction that you are looking (be sure to be in 1st person veiw)

Lol whatcha thinking of TP? Being able to warp to wherever you point your mouse?

 

[TeachersPet]

Much better.

Being able to warp where you don't point your mouse ?!!
