traugott.simon Registered 23/08/2008 Points 91	4th February, 2009 at 18:09:43 - you need an example from me? lets say two lines cross. both different actives. i need to get the coordinates of the point, where these lines cross. n/a
Cecilectomy noPE Registered 19/03/2005 Points 305	4th February, 2009 at 18:20:23 - i know what you mean. but your wording or your thinking is off. actives are not lines. actives have a single x and a singe y coordinate. lines (technically line segments) have AT LEAST two coordinates (x1, y1) - (x2, y2). n/a
traugott.simon Registered 23/08/2008 Points 91	4th February, 2009 at 18:37:37 - yes ok u r right. i have to use actives, so there should be a way to detect overlapping pixels. i´m not sure if this is possible, i guess not. n/a

If you had the Hot Spot at one end of the line and the Active Spot at the other end, then you could retrieve these in the expression editor to find out the coordinates of each side of the line. From these coordinates, you can plug them into an equation to find the intercept of two straight lines. Gridquest V2.00 is out!! http://www.create-games.com/download.asp?id=7456

Sketchy Cornwall UK Registered 06/11/2004 Points 1971	4th February, 2009 at 21:25:02 - Okay, I will give a brief explanation after all... It's all based on the formula of a straight line... y = (mx) + c First, calculate "m" for each line. "m" is the slope, and is calculated using a little trigonometry... m = (sin(angle) -1) / cos(angle) Next, calculate "c" for each line. "c" is the intercept, and is calculated by rearranging our original formula so... c = y - (mx) Now, we know that... y = (m1x) + c1 y = (m2x) + c2 So where the two lines intersect... (m1x) + c1 = (m2x) + c2 A bit more algebra later and we find that... x = (c2 - c1) / (m1 - m2) Now we know "x", we can use it to solve our original formula for one of the lines... y = (m1(c2 - c1) / (m1 - m2)) + c1 n/a
