A command for Oblivion Script Extender

More widely known as the "SINE" function.

Syntax:

sin [float]

or

dsin [float]

Returns the sine of the angle.

Example[edit | edit source]

set y to r * ( sin theta )

Notes[edit | edit source]

  • From v0005, all OBSE trigonometric functions take and return degrees. Versions of the functions which accept radians are still available by prefixing the function name with an r. See: rsin
  • This function can be used in a mathematical formula (a + sin b), but a mathematical formula will not compile as the arguement for this function (sin (a + b) doesn't work).
  • sin a + b = ( sin a ) + b
