Class: math
Description
Returns the arc tangent of v1/v2 (in radians), but uses the signs of both parameters to find the quadrant of the result (it also handles correctly the case of v2 being zero).
(number) = math.atan2(v1,v2)
Parameters
v1: (number) first value
v2: (number) second value
Return values
Returns (number) the angle in radian
Example
Aiming at an enemy
local playerX, playerY = player:getPosition()
local nmeX, nmeY = nme:getPosition()
-- here we get the nme angle relative to the player
local angle = math.atan2(nmeY - playerY, nmeX - playerX) -- the Ys first!
-- now we can target the nme
missile:setPosition(15 * math.cos(angle), 15 * math.sin(angle))
-- ...
