CosT(X) and SinT(X) result in crash when X>180 ? (VC++)

[zaky]

CamX = (HeroX - DistCamHero) * pGlobals->SinT( CamRotY );
CamZ = (HeroZ - DistCamHero) * pGlobals->CosT( CamRotY );
if  CamRotY > 180  there's a Runtime Error (abnormal program termination) and program quits.

hmmm

as far as I remember from my math classes, you can't get the sinus of >= 180 degrees?

[zaky]

oh, i thought that's the reason, but i thought you can because i checked it with windows calucator

Thats tan eh? sin should work from -infinite to infinite afaik.

[Turael]

sin IS available for -infinity -> +infinity

[zaky]

so what's with the function

[Zaknafein]

SinT/CosT disappered in version 6.5. So just don't use it, use your language's math functions... In .NET you'll want to use
double System.Math.Sin(double);
and
double System.Math.Cos(double);

[Rynus_Rein]

it's so said that .Net uses doubles in their Math library, and TV float. So many ugly casts ;-(

[zaky]

oh damn.
is there any way to tell VC++6 "search the code and change pGlobals->SinT to cosf"?

edit:
hmm, cosf takes radians, is there any function that takes degrees? (too lazy adding * (3.14 / 180) to 3910413 places in code)..
