Variables and ranges in javascript
Hi all. I have created an accelerated movement on my player object in game using the following code:
var rotVert:float = 1.0; var horVelocity:float = 1.0; var verVelocity:float = 1.0; function Update() {
horVelocity += 5 * Time.deltaTime; // increases horVelocity by 5 per second
horMovement = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal") * Time.deltaTime * horVelocity; // gets axis for horizontal movement and applies velocity per second.
transform.Translate(0, horMovement, 0); // moves by the value defined by the calculations in horMovement along the X axis.
verVelocity += 1 * Time.deltaTime;
verVelocity -= 10;
verMovement = Input.GetAxis("Vertical");
if (verMovement) {
transform.Rotate(Vector3(0, rotVert, 0).right * verMovement * verVelocity);
}
}
I was wondering if it is possible to set a maximum value to horVelocity and verVelocity. I am familiar with Java but JavaScript is relatively new to me. Ordinarily I would use the < > symbols but i cannot find any reference to their use in this context. Can someone show me how to create a maximum value please?
Thanks
Retagged $$anonymous$$ax to $$anonymous$$aximum to prevent confusion with 3dsmax. Greetz, $$anonymous$$y.
You pretty much have the answer in your explanation :)
var maxValue : float = 10.0f; var value : float = 0.0f;
function Update() { value += 1;
if (value > maxValue) { value = maxValue; } }
Those < > symbols you refer to are actually called "relational operators". In the case of these two, < is a less-than operator and > is a greater-than operator.
Here is a pretty nice looking tutorial about relational operators in JavaScript:
Thanks, I will try this and post back. :-)
