A command for Oblivion Script Extender

More widely known as the "COSINE" function.

Syntax:

cos [float]

or

dcos [float]

Returns the cosine of the angle.

Example[edit | edit source]

set x to r * ( cos 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: rcos
  • This function can be used in a mathematical formula (a + cos b), but a mathematical formula will not compile as the arguement for this function (cos (a + b) doesn't work).
  • cos a + b = ( cos a ) + b
