Vauge subject I know. But I've been in the process of building a system for Midkemia Online for ages now. And have come up against a few things that I can't do and will use this one thread for all of them to save spamming threads.
Todays challenge is working out how to get ' y = 7E-08x3 - 1E-05x2 - 0.0045x + 2.5223 ' incorporated into a script.
I want to work out how to put an 'x' value into it to give me a 'y' value. And then if theres any clever math people about I'd love the reversed formula ( 'y = longformula' ) as its been years since I've done Algebra and it slips my mind .
Ok think I've worked most of it out. My current problem is making the formula capable of running multiple variables through it. EG
Y = math.exp(7-08*X^3) - math.exp(1-05*X^2) - 0.0045*X+2.5223
X = 70, therefore Y = math.exp(7-08*70^3) - math.exp(1-05*70^2) - 0.0045*70+2.5223
X = 110, therefore Y = math.exp(7-08*110^3) - math.exp(1-05*110^2) - 0.0045*110+2.5223
X = 200, therefore Y = math.exp(7-08*200^3) - math.exp(1-05*200^2) - 0.0045*200+2.5223
How can I put that formula in a table, and run it with a random variable with a function.
When I put the formula in a table ' math.exp(7-08*bara.speed^3) - math.exp(1-05*bara.speed^2) - 0.0045*bara.speed+2.5223 ' it saves that 'bara.speed' variable into the table so when bara.speed changes, it doesn't change the value in the table.
Anyone know a way around this?
EDITED: Ok so the table works out all the formulas the moment its saved, so the table doesn't actually contain the formula, it instead contains the answers to the formulas. I'm playing around with storing it as a string instead, but can't work out how to change it back afterwards. Any thoughts?
