I thought it better to dump my things here instead of editing WIKI pages for several reasons (language, not being sure where it should go, lack of talent for writing, etc)

It seems the engine does not load all world spaces when the game is loaded, so persistent objects in some world spaces are not loaded in memory as they are supposed to (maybe some persistent objects are more persistent than others. lol) [Oct/2008]

===Three angle systems===
The game uses three angle ‘systems’:
====World Angle====
Range – 0-360  - 0 degrees is up, increasing clockwise up to 360.  (e.g: 90 = Right,  180 = Down, 270 = Left). 


This is the most common. It is the angle you find in the CS for Reference Rotation.


This type of angle is returned by: [[GetAngle]] Z, [[GetStartingAngle]]
===GetLOS===
This is a test mod  used to get an understanding of how the GetLOS function really behaves ingame.


This type of angle must be provided for: [[SetAngle]] Z
It is intended to modders/scripters interested in using the GetLOS function: it will give you a 'feeling' on where GetLOS starts returning 0


====Heading Angle====
This mod contains a decent arrow-like projectile script, if you need one.
Range – -180 to +180  -  0 degrees is up, increasing clockwise up to 180 and decreasing counterclockwise down to -180.  (e.g: 90 = Right,  180 = Down, -90 = Left, -180 = Down).


This is used to tell how a second object is positioned in relation to a first object heading
This mod was built to determine whether GetLOS is a reliable way to determine collision while moving objects around with SetPos.


This type of angle is returned by: [[GetHeadingAngle]]
And it is kind of fun for the first few minutes.


====Trigonometric Angle====
The mod is here: [http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=19980 TES Nexus]
Range – 0 to 360  -  0 degrees is right, increasing counterclockwise up to 360. (e.g: 90 = Up,  180 = Left, 270 = Down). 
This is the standard trigonometric angle system.


This type of angle must be provided for OBSE trigonometric functions: [[Sin]], [[Cos]], [[Tan]], etc
There is a video here:[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsRRsvYd_hc YouTube]


===Sample code (2D)===
===Moving Objects and Marker Rats===
====DeltaX & DeltaY from Angle and distance ====
Useful when positioning an object at a given distance and angle from another object


;=================================
This mod contains a ‘generic’ approach to move Statics, Activators and Containers.
; Get:  DeltaX and DeltaY
; From: Angle and distance
;=================================
set xAngle to xxx
set xDistance to xxx
if  xAngle <= 90
  set xxTrigAngle  to 90 - xAngle
else
  set xxTrigAngle to 450 - xAngle
endif
set xDeltaX to xDistance * cos xxTrigAngle
set xDeltaY to xDistance * sin xxTrigAngle


==== Angle and distance from DeltaX & DeltaY ====
It includes a Marker Rat script that recovers from/prevents the following characteristics/limitations/bugs(?) of the game engine:
Useful to calculate the horizontal (2D) distance between two objects or in situations where [[GetDistance]] is not reliable.


Useful to calculate the heading angle in situations where [[GetHeadingAngle]] is not reliable (non-actors).
-Objects moved to an unloaded cell (never?/seldom?) show up when the player enters the cell
;=================================
-Objects moved to different world spaces snap back after save+load
; Get:  Angle and distance
-The typical Marker Rat approach is not generic enough as, being an actor, it will fall to the ground, losing the Z axis info
; From: DeltaX and DeltaY
-It also (always?/sometimes?) snaps to a path grid node when the cell is reset.
;=================================
set xAngle to atan2 xDeltaX xDeltaY  ; returns -180 to +180
if xAngle  < 0
  set xAngle to xAngle + 360  ; convert to 0-360
endif
set xDistance to ( xDeltaX * xDeltaX ) + ( xDeltaY * xDeltaY )
set xDistance to sqrt xDistance


====Adding two angles ====
It works both indoors and outdoors
Self explanatory
;=================================
; Get:  Angle
; From: Adding two angles
;=================================
set xAngle to xAngleA + xAngleB
if xAngle > 360
  set xAngle to xAngle - 360
endif
if xAngle < 0
  set xAngle to xAngle + 360
endif

=Personal info=
I enjoy figuring out how to do things with the CS script. For this reason, I rarely, if ever, look into existing scripts from other modders. So, I may be reinventing the wheel all the time and may not come out with the best solution, but it is a conscious decision to improve learning and enjoy what I like to do.

My Mods[edit | edit source]

QQuix Divine Elegance Showroom[edit | edit source]

This mod creates a showroom in Divine Elegance’s basement where live models will wear whatever Palonirya has for sale (Fashion Show style).

And Palonirya is so proud of her showroom that she decided to share it with all clothes and armor merchants in Cyrodill. ANY store.

This Mod is designed to show clothes and armor from any mod that adds them to one of the game shops. Even items/shops that will be created in the future.
