Haha. Well, some members are making extremely advanced stuff like ARty-FishL. He is working on Controller Input for Alice, and he has his own theme system. I'm working on a multiplayer game with another long time member who isn't as frequent in the community, but frequent on Skype.

T= sqrt s(s-l.ab)(s-l.ba)(s-l.ca) s meaning semiperim.

and using the area, we can find the value l.bd
then we can find the angles using trig.

simple.
So, I'm a bit confused on how the system would work. Explain to me again how this would be different from "mid Air Spawning" and what did you mean btw? Like "is showing = true/false?"

This is serious stuff, even some professional game making companies don't bother with realistic arm motions.

Hey, relax. It's not so hard. I am only entering high school this year.

yes instead of a weapon suddenly becoming visible, it would be located on their body and be able to pull it out.

I don't know for sure, but I'd assume that most developers would only do the math once, then delegate the process to a preset animation, since the gun should go to and be drawn from the same place every time.

I'll have to try it when I have time. Glad it works. Can't wait to see it.

That is cool, Math + programming = awesomesauce(and rage).

Also jediaction I believe Mr.X was correcting Arty-FishL is his statement in that it should be :
"Sooo, how do you use this."
