=sinister= Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 (edited) So you have a circle, 360 degrees around. Somewhere in that circle you have point A. This is where "you" are located. You have the X and Y coordinates for location A. You are facing a degree. You need to turn a certain amount of degrees to face point "B", which you also have the X and Y coordinate of. Thats the problem, anyone know how to solve? EXAMPLE: POINT A X: 2 POINT A Y: 3 POINT B X: 5 POINT B Y: 7 RotationDegree (Which way you are facing): 39 (degrees) My wild guess is it has to do something with the Tan() function in AutoIt (Or something like that I forgot the name). I'm only in Algebra right now, and I asked everyone I knew and they couldn't figure this out. Edited January 6, 2008 by =sinister= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nahuel Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 (edited) Perhaps it's just me, but that problem is kinda confusing Coordinates are relative. So we need to know where the circle is centered. The equation of a circumference centered at ( a , b ) is: (x-a)^2 + (y-b)^2 = r^2 and this one is centered at (0,0) x^2 + y^2 = r^2 Another thing I don't understand is what you mean by "You are facing a degree". Could you do some graphics? If you have two points that belong to a circumference, it should be quite easy to make the mouse move from point A to B following the circle.

=sinister= Posted January 6, 2008 Author Share Posted January 6, 2008 (edited) Not trying to do with mouse. Lets say you are "facing" north, or looking directly north. This is the data I know: -Degree i'm looking at, or facing. -The XY Coordinates of where I am standing -The XY Coordinates of where I need to go I need to rotate x amount of degrees to face the coordinate I need to go to. Sorry for my bad explanation =P So basically i'm solving the the x amount of degrees I need to face the B coordinates. I'll try to make a graphic --Edit-- Sorry for bad explanation Edited January 6, 2008 by =sinister= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GEOSoft Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 I think I know what he wants but I forget the math to do it. He is standing at the outer edge of a circle (at point A) facing the center of the circle. Point B is another point on the outside egde of the circle. How many degrees would he have to turn to be facing point B? Look at a compass. If he is standing at south(180°) while facing north (0°) and point B is east(90°) then he would have to turn 45° to the right in order to face Point B. George Question about decompiling code?

crzftx Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 (edited) why do the points have to be on a circle, that fact changes nothing. There must [i assume] be some significance in that information. Assuming that information was pointless, we have 2 points on the standard X,Y coordinate plane. The location of A will be (x1, y1) and the location of B will be (x2, y2) The rotation of A will be direction If x1 > x2 Then Return 180 - direction + ATan((x1-x2)/(y1-y2)) Else x1 < x2 Return direction + ATan((x1-x2)/(y1-y2)) EndIf I'm not completely sure about the direction part of it, but finding the angle is correct. If you're going to use this, make sure to check if y1 = y2 (Divide by 0). Edited January 6, 2008 by crzftx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
