nicely done Serge

The Hydro is confuse
What seems to be the problem?
-
Nothing. It's just long and... mathematical.
:D

*Gasp* Look at all those words.
I read the bold ones. :P

I vaguely understand this. Nice work.

Thanks for the help, Serge. Get this how you want it to be and I'll 'Pin' it up in the 'Tutorials'.
School's a burden? Oi vey...
A vector, guys, is like a little packet of info, containing multiple parameters (like magnitude and direction). Here we are just 'relating' (or co--relating) two objects' cardinal directions: the arena and the gmf object (that is somewhere in the arena).
This is done through a Trans-Matrix of columns and rows: TM_ROWS.
The 3 columns represents the arena's xyz axes.
The 3 rows represent the gmf objects xyz axes.
Correlation works thus:
'1' means there is a direct correlation (arena's 'x' = the gmf object's 'x')
'0' means there is a no correlation between the arena's 'x' and the gmf object's 'x'.
Just read over Serge's post a couple times and you'll get it. You should have had this in Algebra; sine, cosine, etc.. so don't throw a 'tangent',... hehe.
Serge, I'll put your work right next to this thread:

do I get a cookie for understanding it all ?
also Mad umm isnt 4:30am a little late (or early) to be reading over mathematics ?
-
I'm nailed... :bigsmile:
G'night.

Hmm I handle TM_ROWs somewhat differently... I just imagine the x,y,z axes in my head, and then imagine rotating the whole space so the z direction is pointing the way I want it to go, and then figure out the coordinates of the point 0,0,1 in the new coordinate space.
But I guess if you're more mathematically inclined, the multiplication method works too. Nice tutorial with bits of humor sprinkled throughout.
But you don't explain how to make a matrix that makes you a sammich. :frown: That would be cool.

NO HE'S NOT! HE'S IN A BATHROOM! :P
And I didn't like matrix multiplication back then. Dunno if I'll use it when I'm gonna fiddle around with GMFs lol.

Matrix multiplication is one heck of a bitch anyways.
But nice work serge ! *downloads pic*

Am I getting stuff like that later in school?
...Im scared :(

Sudo make me a sammich.

Silly System32! You can't sudo in Windows! You're not a Unix-based system. You don't belong here! Heck, you're not even POSIX-compliant!
Also, go to sleep, it's 4AM you drunk Scotsman.

Vectors and me do not mix. Heck me and integers don't mix. Also chemicals I failed in school so far. If theres nite picky stuff I get mixed up.

You see, I love vectors. What caused me to do terribly in Linear Algebra was all the terminology (and never doing my homework).
