A command for Oblivion Script Extender

More widely known as the "TANGENT" function.

Syntax:

tan [float]

Returns the tangent of the angle.

ExampleEdit

set z to r * ( tan theta )

(unlike sin and cos, where the example provided was meaningful, this example is simply an example)

NotesEdit

  • 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. (i.e. rtan)
  • This function can be used in a mathematical formula (a + tan b), but a mathematical formula will not compile as the arguement for this function (tan (a + b) doesn't work).
  • tan a + b = ( tan a ) + b
