I think you will also need the x and y axis of the thing you want the turret to shoot and have it declare if they come close to the turret then it activates the shots. Although I could be wrongI'll try that
There's plenty of ways to do this, but I think the only trigonometry involved would be to decide the angle that the turret should face. Sorry, I don't have access to SmileBASIC for the foreseeable future, so I can't make an example. Off-topic, how good are you with MML? Would you be interested in composing for someone else's game? I'm great at programming but can't make any sort of music (or graphics, for that matter).Ah its OK, and I'll see what I can manage to do with angles As for mml I think I'm OK, I haven't really got any of my works published before and I don't really rely on myself to judge what I can make.
This should get you started: QKAE54G3. This is an example of detecting if the player has entered the "kill zone". This came from part of a game I was working and there might be a better way of doing this.Thanks
This is actually all trig. You use the distance formula with the x and y of your player, and your turret to compute the distance: D^2=(Px-Tx)^2+(Py-Ty)^2 And the angle will be using tangent: The line between your turret and (Px,0) and the line between the turret and (0,PY) form two sides of a triangle (opposite and adjacent SOHCAHTOA) Atan(Px-Tx, Py-Ty) Edit: fighting the tablet while I think. I had it right the first timeI input the formula and get an error

I need this kind of mechanic's for a game I'm making and if you want I'll add you in the credits.
Sure. :)This should get you started: QKAE54G3. This is an example of detecting if the player has entered the "kill zone".

That's math not code :) Just being your friendly neighborhood pedant. The code might be Distance:This is actually all trig.
