Create Sphere between 2 positions

[BriGhtx3]

Hey!

I can't figure out how to create a sphere between 2 positions (X/Y).

Currently I use createColCuboid and calculate the width and depth like this:

width = math.abs(x1-x2) 
depth = math.abs(y1-y2) 

But when I create a sphere with a command, the sphere sometime gets created to the wrong/opposite side.

For example:

I create a sphere from the station at SF to the police department, but it gets created from the station to the opposite side.

Is there another function to create a sphere with two positions?

no one?

I still need help..

Not even Solidsnake or Kenix?

I don't understand your question to be honest. If you get wrong coords that's because you use math.abs which will always give you positive values. But still, your question is not clear. "Create sphere between 2 points" doesn't say much.

Correct me if I am wrong:

you want to create a sphere using Dx, giving 2 coords > (x,y,z) and (x1,y1,z1) .

and using this 2 coords you get the middle of the line segment, right ? that will be this point : ( (x1-x)/2 , (y1-y)/2 , (z1-z)/2 )

and using this point, you will create the sphere, with that center : ( (x1-x)/2 , (y1-y)/2 , (z1-z)/2 ) and with a given radius, depending on the distance between those points, using square root.

Is that you want ?

Yes you got it ;D

And how do I calculate the distance now? I tried to use getDistanceBetweenPoints2D/2, but it only returns 1 float.

But i need a width and depth

Glad to understand u

I guess u need to use getDistanceBetweenPoints3D instead , and divide per 2

Just tried it^^

The problem is that (x1-x)/2 , (y1-y)/2 , (z1-z)/2 is not the center of those points

But the width and height is ok now

Sorry my bad, is not subtract is sum.

Like this : (x1+x)/2 , (y1+y)/2 , (z1+z)/2

Try it , and say the results, if its ok

[BriGhtx3]

Yes it works

Thank you so much )

No problem mate, have fun scripting
