colrectangles: how to?

[DutchCaffeine]

Hello everybody,

I need a colrectangle, but i don't know how i need to get the coordinates and the size of it.

How math all that, does someone know it?

I know the function. But lets take a look at the arguments:

float fX, float fY, float fWidth, float fDepth

How to get these stuff, the x, y, and width and depth?

That is my question.

Eh... I'm not sure if anyone follows you... You mean you want to know at what position a colshape is which is already created? If that's the case, getElementPosition?

Are you being serious now or do you make a joke out of us?

You must know the location (X,Y) where you want it to be...

Width and depth depend on you.. weather you want it to be huge or small... You decide.

Ho ho, i don't make a joke out of you. I never will.

Lets get it more complicated. I've made a rectangle in photoshop:

There are 5 points there:

1. left top

2. right top

3. left bottom

4. right bottom

5. center

Now, i want to know at what point i need to get x and the y. And how to math the width and depth. I hope that explains some more about my question.

As you said #"3. left bottom" (south-west -> X, Y). Width is distance between #3 and #4, depth is distance between #3 and #1 (or the other way around).

What do you want to calculate?

If i read good:

from position 3 i need to get the x coord

from position 4 i need to get the y coord

and from 3 to (x coord) 1 i can calculate the depth

and from 3 to 4 i can calculate the width

Am i right?

Of course you're wrong

Read it again.

TIP: A point has a location (x, y).

Ahh, i think i got the point.

So i go to point #3 save the coords, that are the x and y coords.

Then i go from point #3 to #4 and then get the distance with the function getDistanceBetweenPoints2D that is the width.

Then i go from point #3 to #1 and with the same function i get the depth.

Am i right now?

Sort of. You don't have to use getDistanceBetweenPoints2D because you can't rotate colshapes, so rectangle has always straight line along X and Y axis.

to create them, can use a radar area to create them? Because those spares are invisible.
