| Summary | 0005411: Clockwork probe shots don't properly work on sine wave at upward-shooting angles. | ||||
| Description | Instead of going perpendicular to the shot direction, the sine part of the wave winds up going parallel. This isn't a huge deal at the moment, but it's something definitely noticeable at 45 degree angles or so. | ||||

My knowledge of trig and the interactions of the related code is such that fixing this will probably be a few hours of trial and error (which is how I got to the current implementation), but ok :) |
|
|
And naturally my making a comment like that causes the actual investigation to only take 5 minutes (remembering that the slope of a perpendicular line is -run/rise, not run/rise). I'll have to try that trick more often, maybe more bugs will get fixed faster ;) |

I think that this is a two-step process: 1. Assume that the wave is moving on a straight line, and calculate the amount of Y movement (offset from centerline) that would be given at the current point in the sine wave. 2. Translate that Y movement into the X and Y movement based on the angle. This should just be Sin and Cos once again as with any magnitude/angle calculation, right? I'm terrible at trig myself, so maybe there's some reason that doesn't work, but that's what springs to mind for me. |

Oh, haha. I see you already fixed it and I missed that. Nevermind on my comment. :) |
