Using a random point in two actions

50 views Asked by At

Sorry I'm new to this. Right now I'm trying to create an endless randomly moving sprite that rotates to its direction. However I can't figure out how to use the random location generated from randomPoint on the rotateAction. Basically the bug randomly rotates instead of using the point it's going to. Is there a way I can use the same random point twice?

-(void)moveRandom:(CCSprite*)roach
{

    CGPoint randomPoint = ccp(arc4random()%480, arc4random()%320);
    NSLog(@"%@", NSStringFromCGPoint(randomPoint));

    int minDuration = 2.0;
    int maxDuration = 4.0;
    int rangeDuration = maxDuration - minDuration;
    int randomDuration = (arc4random() % rangeDuration) + minDuration;

    float dY = roach.position.y - randomPoint.y;
    float dX = roach.position.x - randomPoint.x;
    float offset = dX<0 ? 90.0f : -90.0f;
    float angle = CC_RADIANS_TO_DEGREES(atan2f(dY, dX)) + offset;

    [roach runAction:
     [CCActionSequence actions:
      [CCActionRotateTo actionWithDuration:0.001 angle:angle],
      [CCActionMoveTo actionWithDuration:randomDuration position: randomPoint],
      [CCActionCallBlock actionWithBlock:^{
         [self performSelector:@selector(moveRandom:) withObject:roach afterDelay:0.5];
     }],
      nil]
     ];

Some things that stand out: It looks like you're trying to get the angle in the wrong direction. The conditional offset is not needed. radians to degrees should be negated .. I'm guessing you want:

float dY = randomPoint.y - roach.position.y;
float dX = randomPoint.x - roach.position.x;
float angle = -CC_RADIANS_TO_DEGREES(atan2f(dY, dX));
