Unit Slide with slowing

not rated
Submitted by paskovichCalculations0 downloads
A simple script, that can be used to calculate the distance that a unit should be moved with in a timer, to perform a slowing movement, where the speed is 0 in the end.

maxDist is the distance that the unit moves through the whole movement.
n is how many times the timer will expire in total.
count is how many times the timer has expired since start.

Look at my exaple SlideUnit function to understand!

function GetPolarOffset takes real maxDist, real n, integer count returns real
    return 2*maxDist*(count-n-1)/(n-n*n)
endfunction

I think using those PolarProjectionX and Y functions is really ugly :P

Also, writing bj_DEGTORAD out by hand is kinda...

Anyways, assuming that that works, gj :P
