Creating Polys from Chat?

[killerogue]

What would be the best course of action any of you would choose to create polys from a number the player states?

Using cos and sin I am not sure how I would go about this,

Here:

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onPlayerChats()
{
     if (player.chat.starts("/putpoly"))
     {
          temp.verticies = player.chat.substring(11).tokenize();
          echo(temp.verticies);
          
          
          showPoly(15, temp.verticies);
     }
} 


How to use: /putpoly vert1 vert2 vert3 vert4

I meant more along the lines of stating a number of sides. And getting an even polygon from that.

I didn't test it, but something like this should work.

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onPlayerChats()
{
    temp.radius = 3;
    temp.phi = 0;
    
    if (player.chat.starts("/putpoly"))
    {
        temp.tok = player.chat.tokenize();
        temp.sides = temp.tok[1];
        if(temp.sides > 2) {
            temp.dt = 2*pi/temp.sides;
            temp.vert = {player.x+temp.radius*cos(temp.phi),player.y+temp.radius*sin(temp.phi)};
            for(temp.i = 1; temp.i < temp.sides; ++temp.i) {
                temp.vert.add( player.x+temp.radius*cos(temp.phi + temp.i*temp.dt) );
                temp.vert.add( player.y+temp.radius*sin(temp.phi + temp.i*temp.dt) );
            }
            showpoly(20,temp.vert);
        }
    }
}

    }
} 


Yeah, thanks Falados. I worked something of that order our with Hell Raven and it worked.

What are you going to learn by having someone do your code for you ^-^

Absolutely nothing :P

Actually I originally learned gscript by looking at codes other people have done and picking apart how it worked...
