What is perfect number to setAngle() to get 1 degrees?

Jalapenodev

I have now this like code:

function onTimer(event)
body:setAngle(body:getAngle() + 0.06981310179)
end

timer = Timer.new(10, 45)
timer:addEventListener(Event.TIMER, onTimer, timer)
timer:start()

So it runs onTimer 45 times. It turns 180 degrees on every run, but when i run it like 200 times, the body is like 1 degrees in wrong angle, if i do it 1000 times it can be couple of degrees in wrong angle.

So whats perfect "1 degree" number to setAngle()?

try body:setAngle(body:getAngle() + math.pi/180)

or make a variable body.rotation = 0. then simply do body.rotation = body.rotation + 1 on each timer event, and do body:setAngle(math.rad(body.rotation))

As those are floating numbers I don't know if you can set them so precise, but how about:

local deg1 = math.rad(1)   function onTimer(event) body:setAngle(body:getAngle() + deg1) end   timer = Timer.new(10, 45) timer:addEventListener(Event.TIMER, onTimer, timer) timer:start()

Or rounding like:

function onTimer(event) body:setAngle(math.rad(math.floor(math.deg(body:getAngle()) + 1))) end   timer = Timer.new(10, 45) timer:addEventListener(Event.TIMER, onTimer, timer) timer:start()

try body:setAngle(body:getAngle() + math.pi/180)

or make a variable body.rotation = 0. then simply do body.rotation = body.rotation + 1 on each timer event, and do body:setAngle(math.rad(body.rotation))

That first one worked just as perfect and simple I was hoping.

Thank you!

Hold them in a variable as degrees, then when setting the rotation just turn them in to a rad at the same time - this way you can just increment your local variable by one.
