Right now i have it working with GetWorldX/YFromSprite() but it would be nice to have an algorithm.
I did find something at stack overflow but it is way over the top and i'm pretty sure it's simple math but i'm stoopid
Thanks in advance for any help

That reminds me of when you helped me with the function for placing a point along a line. I got the calculations for how to place the point along a line, not sure what you mean by find a point along a line? In what way to find? mouse pointer x/y input?

I have point1, point2 and a distance
I need the point that is distance from point1 on the line

function get_distance3d(x1#,y1#,z1#,x2#,y2#,z2#)
adjecent#=sqrt((x2#-x1#)*(x2#-x1#) + (y2#-y1#)*(y2#-y1#)) + (z2#-z1#)*(z2#-z1#)) //2d distance adjecent
endfunction adjecent#


you can find the hpotenuse /distance by the adjecent and opposite or vise versa using basic triangle math an a couple equations. Triangles are good for lots of stuff and knowing some triangle math u can accurately plot an orbit find distances, pivots, slopes, can even do real time shadows using a triangle crawler. Very valuable to take an hour and freshen up on some trig.

Yep, here is a LINK for quiet a lot of formulas that you can use for whatever type of triangle.

Given a line segment of point A[x1, y2] to point B[x2, y2]


1. Find length of the line segment:
length = sqrt((x1-x2)^2 + (y1-y2)^2)

2. Create normalized direction vector (or unit vector):
dx = (x2 - x1) / length
dy = (y2 - y1) / length


3. Find new point along line at specified distance:
x = x1 + dx * distance
y = y1 + dy * distance



I have a solution in DBP (somewhere) for distance along a bezier curve. It's harder than you'd think.

if you have an AtanFull or a GetAngle function.

It's just matter of

Angle# = GetAngle(P1X,p1Y, P2X,P2Y)

X#= P1X+Cos(Angle#) *Distance#
Y#= P1Y+Sin(Angle#) *Distance#

@Phaelax Thank you master! Can you please find the calculations you have to find distance along a bezier curve PLEASE and share it here. Would be much appreciated. Thank you!
