Range Counters

[ghostdancer]

LOL .. you geeks!

All I was looking for was advice on how to change my thinking to adapt to the new range system. I find myself zeroing in on a plane and then checking the range and for a split second it confuses me and I hold my fire. Because the size of the plane indicates it closer than the range does.

Just looking for advice on how to change my way of thinking faster than I have been adjusting so far.

But hey that code would work too.

So, when the icon changes from a 600 to a 400 the enemy went from 500 yards out to 499?


Only other possibility is that he just went from 600 to 599, or 401 to 400, and the size of the AC seems to indicate the first.

I am not conversant with the language so could only attempt the math.........my ignorancestarts with the (long) function.

You had it correct tilt.

And  (long) isn't a function, it is called a type cast. All it ends up doing is droping anything behind the decimal. I.E. converts from floating point to integers in this cas a LONG i.e. 32 bit int.
