Hello, could someone help me with this code, it works but it only turns in one direction. I'm currently using this code to turn my npc to the required angle by adding 1 degree every think.

PHP Code:

bool:turn_with_speed(Float:current[3],Float:ideal[3]) 
{
    new Float:angle = current[1]
    new Float:tangle = ideal[1]

    if(angle > 360) // Don't let angle go more then 360 degrees
        angle = 0.0
    
    if( (angle >= 0.0) && (angle <= 180.0) )
    {
        if( (360 - tangle) <= 180 || angle > tangle)
        {
            angle++
            client_print(0, print_center, "Current: %f; Angle: %f; TAngle: %f; I I", current[1], angle, tangle) // For debug purposes
            console_print(0, "I I") // For debug purposes
        }
        else
        {
            angle--
            client_print(0, print_center, "Current: %f; Angle: %f; TAngle: %f; I II", current[1], angle, tangle)
            console_print(0, "I II")
        }
    }
    else
    {
        if( (360 - tangle) >= 180 || angle < tangle)
        {
            angle++
            client_print(0, print_center, "Current: %f; Angle: %f; TAngle: %f; II I", current[1], angle, tangle)
            console_print(0, "II I")
        }
        else
        {
            angle--
            client_print(0, print_center, "Current: %f; Angle: %f; TAngle: %f; II II", current[1], angle, tangle)
            console_print(0, "II II")
        }
    }
    
    if(is_within_difference(angle, tangle, 2.0)) // Check if npc needs to turn.
    {
        angle = tangle
        //client_print(0, print_center, "Current: %f; Angle: %f; XX", current[1], angle)
    }

    current[1] = angle
    
    
    return true // function is not created to the end, I'll do it later.
}

try this:

PHP Code:

stock angle_add( Float:angles[3], Float:ideal[3], Float:degree_add[3] )
{
    new Float:d, a
    for( a = 0; a < 3; a++ )
    {
        d = ideal[a] - angles[a]
        if( d < 0.0 )
        {
            if( degree_add[a] > d * -1.0 ) angles[a] += d
            else angles[a] -= degree_add[a]
            continue
        }
        if( degree_add[a] > d ) angles[a] += d
        else angles[a] += degree_add[a]
    }
} 


in your case it would be:

PHP Code:

angle_add( current, ideal, Float:{ 1.0, 1.0, 1.0 } )

Doesn't work properly, it only changes pitch, BTW I need only Yaw.

EDITED:

Tried like this,

stock angle_add( Float:angles[3], Float:ideal[3], Float:degree_add = 1.0 )
{
	new Float:d, a
	d = ideal[1] - angles[1]
	if( d < 0.0 )
	{
		if( degree_add > d * -1.0 ) angles[1] += d
		else angles[1] -= degree_add
	}
	if( degree_add > d ) angles[1] += d
	else angles[1] += degree_add
}

It only turns in one direction and some times turns at once.

I just tested the code i gave you and it worked fine.

Sorry, tested again, some thing was wrong with my npc, but the problem still remains, your code works exactly the same as mine, it only turn in one direction to reach ideal angle.

I'll send you my npc code to PM, and you can test it, you'll see, BTW thanks for all the help so far.

What do you mean only one direction?
It goes on the direction what is closest to ideal angle. Isin't that what you want?

[usaexelent]

Yes, it is what I want, but if ideal Angle is closer to the right side then it turns left side all the way anyway.

i did not test it so im not sure if it works.

PHP Code:

// each time you update your ideal angle, call this function.
// angles is npc angle and ideal is must be angle for npc
stock fix_ideal( Float:angles[3], Float:ideal[3] )
{
    new Float:d, a
    for( a = 0; a < 3; a++ )
    {
        d = ideal[a] - angles[a]
    if( d > 180.0 ) ideal[a] =  0.0 - (ideal[a] - 180.0)
    if( d < -180.0 ) ideal[a] =  360.0 - (ideal[a] + 180.0)
    }
}

stock angle_add( Float:angles[3], Float:ideal[3], Float:degree_add[3] )
{
    new Float:d, a
    for( a = 0; a < 3; a++ )
    {
        d = ideal[a] - angles[a]
        if( d < 0.0 )
        {
            if( degree_add[a] > d * -1.0 ) angles[a] += d
            else angles[a] -= degree_add[a]
            continue
        }
        if( degree_add[a] > d ) angles[a] += d
        else angles[a] += degree_add[a]
    }
}

Sorry for not replying you sooner but I had work, this code doesn't work properly, sometimes when I set ideal angle it turns to opposite direction.

This is how I get ideal angle:

PHP Code:

stock aim_at_origin(id,Float:target[3],Float:angles[3]) {
    static Float:vec[3]
    pev(id,pev_origin,vec)
    vec[0] = target[0] - vec[0]
    vec[1] = target[1] - vec[1]
    vec[2] = target[2] - vec[2]
    engfunc(EngFunc_VecToAngles,vec,angles)
    angles[0] *= -1.0, angles[2] = 0.0
}

stock vectorize(input[3],Float:output[3]) {
    output[0] = float(input[0])
    output[1] = float(input[1])
    output[2] = float(input[2])
} 


And then I use it like this:

PHP Code:

                new vc[3]
                vc[0] = floatround(owner_aim_origin[0])
                vc[1] = floatround(owner_aim_origin[1])
                vc[2] = floatround(owner_aim_origin[2])
                    
                static Float:vec[3]
                vectorize(vc,vec)
                    
                static Float:targetangle[3]
                aim_at_origin(ent,vec,targetangle)
                pev(ent,pev_angles,vec)

                //if(turn_with_speed(vec,targetangle, 5.0))
                fix_ideal(vec, targetangle)
                angle_add( vec, targetangle, Float:{ 1.0, 1.0, 1.0 } )  
                set_pev(ent,pev_angles,vec)
