Hello everyone,
I am beginning to write my own G-Force scripts, and I am curious to know if there is a way to change or translate the position of the pole when using polar coordinates in FlowField configs.
All I want to do is modify an existing config such that the pole is in in a corner of the screen, instead of in the center, at the origin. Surely there is a way to set the polar (X,Y)? Or perhaps there is an equation to translate srcR and srcT?
I am using G-Force Gold 2.8.
Any help would be appreciated.

Polar coordinates: Can I change the location of the pole?

Off the bat, I'd guess that you might be able to incorporate X and Y values in the R/T source statements in order to achieve this.
I've seen flowfields showing the focus of attention to be more or less off-center screen, and as I said before, I'd think that using the occasional x & y in the R and T statements could pull something like that off.

You need to look at polar cartesian conversions.

as
R=Sqrt(X*X+Y*Y)
work fine there is a problem with
Theta=ArcTan(Y/X)
as Andy hasn't yet implemented the correct signage for calculting theta the same as the above equation.
