GetReciprocalHeading()

Code:

2182 float Mob::GetReciprocalHeading(Mob* target) {

2183 float Result = 0;

2184 

2185 if(target) {

2186 float h = target->GetHeading();

2187 

2188 if(h > 0.0 && h < 128.0)

2189 Result = h + 128.0;

2190 else if(h > 128.0 && h < 256)

2191 Result = h - 128.0;

2192 else if(h == 128.0)

2193 Result = 255.9;

2194 else

2195 Result = h;

2196 }

2197 

2198 return Result;

2199 }

Just a note for the author of this code:

First off, great idea! Just 2 questions, though. What if the heading is already 0.0 and wouldn't it be easier to just do a mod?

Code:

float Mob::GetReciprocalHeading(Mob* target) {

  float Result = 0;



  if(target) {

    float h = target->GetHeading();

    Result = (h + 128.0) % 256;

  }



  return Result;

}

Thanks. Yours looks cleaner. Obviously, I should have spent more time paying attention in math class :-) I'm trying it out in branch now along with some new code to get bot rogue's and rogue pet's to position themselves behind a mob they are attacking.
