I already showed you my formula.

height = height + math.ceil(1/dx)

Modify it to your needs. Basically, if dx is positive, it adds 1 to height. if its negative, it subtracts 1 from height.

OR if you want to add or subtract more, just put a number at the end. For example, to add or subtract 4, do this:

height = height + math.ceil(1/dx)4

hey. i tried this:

Code:

---

if math.abs(dx) > 32 then
                cursorx = cursorx + dx / 64
                            dudex = dudex + dx/64
                            speed = speed+math.ceil(1/dx)
                end

        if math.abs(dy) > 32 then
                cursory = cursory + dy / 64
                            dudey = dudey + dy/64
                end
end

---

but it only ADDS 1 to speed when i move RIGHT, and does nothing when i move left. wtf?? sry, i know im really n00bish, and ty for being patient with me, but i have no idea how to make this work.:(:(

BTW: i have deifned all my variables.

Code:

---

if math.abs(dx) > 32 then
                cursorx = cursorx + dx / 64
                            dudex = dudex + dx/64
                end

        if math.abs(dy) > 32 then
                cursory = cursory + dy / 64
                            dudey = dudey + dy/64
                            speed = speed+math.ceil(1/dy)
              end
end

---

Umm.. what is the variable you want to change? You dont have a formula in there...

i want to change speed. everything else works fine, but when i move the analok stick right, it add to the speed, BUT when i move it left, it does nothing to the speed.

Code:

---

if math.abs(dx) > 32 then
                cursorx = cursorx + dx / 64
                            dudex = dudex + dx/64
                            speed = speed+math.ceil(1/dx)
                end

        if math.abs(dy) > 32 then
                cursory = cursory + dy / 64
                            dudey = dudey + dy/64
                            speed = speed+math.ceil(1/dy)
              end
end

---

like that?

if i do that, then when i move the analog stick right, it add 1 and if i move it down, it also adds 1. BUT what i want, is this:

if analog stick moves right, then speed increases, if i move it left, then speed decreases.

Code:

---

if math.abs(dx) > 32 then
                cursorx = cursorx + dx / 64
                            dudex = dudex + dx/64
                            speed = speed+ math.ceil(dx/128)
                end

        if math.abs(dy) > 32 then
                cursory = cursory + dy / 64
                            dudey = dudey + dy/64
              end
end

Whoops, I had my formula wrong, sorry. This will add or subtract 1.
Or, if you want it to be the more you push the analog, the faster it moves, just use speed = speed + (dx/64)

hello ever1 well if havent seen i've been working on a game: pspaintball and recently released v 0.1 so i want to implement wifi within the next few versions and i remeber a while back seeing sometin about lua wifi libary's now then heres my question:

A: fanjita got wifi for lua to work in 2.1+ correctly?
B:are there any tut's yet made for how to implement wifi into lua
C: if so where
D:anyway to check if it works or not as of i don't have a wifi connection spot
E: thats about it=-)

h2so4 = sulfuric acid.

grim: glad it works!
