New Thought for The next Lunar Release

[petar113507]

Okiedokie, this isn't meant for anything to be real hugh, but I thought about it, and I fuigured it would be so much easier, if you could get the player direction from the in game compass.

I noticed in the FFXI Player Library there are Player_ Functions

Why not add a Player_GetDirection()?

Eh? I think that would be pretty darn spiffy!

lemme know if it's a good idea... If you would of course.

player_GetHeading( )
player_GetHeadingRads( )



Gets the heading of the player. Heading is the number of degrees or radians a player is facing away from north. East is 90 degrees, south is 180, west is 270, and north is 0 degrees. The Rads version of this function returns the same result, but in radians form. If you don't know how to use radians, use the normal form. The results returned by this function are completely independent of the direction the camera is pointing.



Example usage: Heading=FFXI.player_GetHeading( )

HeadingRads=FFXI.player_GetHeadingRads( )



Arguments: None.



Return values: Returns a number containing the heading of the player in relation to compass north.

On error, 0 is returned and an error is generated.

Oh si si~ So it is implemented already! Thanks for that tiny!

(Where is the link for your initial script for your <pos> thing? I looked all over and I cant find it.....)

[TinyTerror]

I never made one. Thats why you cant find it

[petar113507]

Not that one with your Mule or something? It says a textobject in the top? I remember that post....

[TinyTerror]

Ohhh, that. Its PlayerStats.lua in the /lunar/scripts folder.

[petar113507]

Found the post I was looking for, clicked on the link, and it's dead. Could you post the script for that tiny?

this was the quote:

Ok, as promissed, here is a screenshot. I know, its not much, just a basic player stats display. I would have made something a bit more flashy, but i'm tired and didn't feel like it



This is my partner in crime, the lovely unnamed mithra mule. I crashed the game with her no fewer than 290 times while developing lunar. So much for loosing data with an improper logout huh.

*NINJA EDIT* I almost forgot. Here is the script I used to make the screenshot. Its pretty simple.

Are you just not listening to me? Go to where you installed lunar. Go into the lunar directory, then the scripts directory. Playerstats.lua is there.

[petar113507]

OOps. I didnt think you meant on the actual drive of the computer. I was looking around these forums for the post.... ;D

Is this still working for ya?

My FFXI.Player_GetXPos(), YPos, ZPos all say 0
and my FFXI.Player_GetHeading() is always 90

The memlocs might be a bit funky since the last update(s).
