Problem with Trigonometry

Hello, how are you?

I have an issue with this code and I am stuck with it:

This is a code piece that I used to use back in the game maker days. But in unity doesn't quite respond in the same way.

Code (CSharp):

1. for (int i = 1; i<=360; i+=120) {
2.  
3.                                 GameObject option = (GameObject)Instantiate (circular);
4.                                 float xD = (Mathf.Cos (i));
5.                                 float yD = (Mathf.Sin (i));
6.  
7.                                 Vector3 pos = new Vector3 (transform.position.x + len * xD, transform.position.y + len * yD, 0);
8.                                 option.transform.position = pos;
9.                                 option.transform.parent = transform;
10.                                 abec.Add (option);
11.  
12.                         }

I expected to have 3 equidistant option around my transform. But instead the 3 of them appear in the upper part.

Any help?

Thank you!

 

Aren't you looking for arc sine/cosine? Also, those functions us radians, not degrees.

 

Not really, I am looking for the coordinate given by x=x+length*cosine(iterator) / y=y+length*sine(iterator) so for 360 degrees / 3 would set one option at 1º, 120º and 240º...

I tried multiplying for radtodeg but keeps mostly the same...

am I doing something wrong at: ??

Code (CSharp):

1. float xD = Mathf.Cos (i)*Mathf.Rad2Deg;
2.                                 float yD = Mathf.Sin (i)*Mathf.Rad2Deg;
3.                                 Vector3 pos = new Vector3 (transform.position.x + len * xD, transform.position.y + len * yD, 0);

 

sorted.

Code (CSharp):

1.                                 float xD = Mathf.Cos ((float)i * Mathf.Deg2Rad);
2.                                 float yD = Mathf.Sin ((float)i * Mathf.Deg2Rad);
3.  
4.                                 print (xD + "  " + yD);
5.  
6.                                 Vector3 pos = new Vector3 (transform.position.x + len * xD / 100, transform.position.y + len * yD / 100, 0);

Had to be given in radians. Remember kids! give them radians
