EvolvingNatFloat
A number generator whose return value changes over time according a transform and factor.
Each sequential value is retrieved according to the first value and the sequence number.
To use EvolvingNatFloat, add the using statement for Vintagestory.API.MathTools.
Example in code
using Vintagestory.API.MathTools;
class Example
{
Example()
{
float factor = 1;
EvolvingNatFloat evolve;
evolve = new EvolvingNatFloat(
EnumTransformFunction.CLAMPEDPOSITIVESINUS,
factor
);
float firstValue = 5;
for (float sequence = firstValue; sequence < 100; sequence++)
{
// Retrieve each sequential value
float y = evolve.nextFloat(firstValue, sequence);
}
}
}
Transform variants
Overview | |
---|---|
Name | Explanation |
clampedpositivesinus | Clamped positive sine wave function. |
cosinus | Cosine wave function. |
identical | Identical to first value. |
inverselinear | Linear change in the direction of the first value. |
linearnullify | Linear change towards zero, then clamp at zero. |
linearreduce | Linear change in the opposite direction of the first value. |
quadratic | Quadratic function. |
root | Root function. |
sinus | Sine wave function. |
smoothstep | Smooth step function. |
Visual representation
For every representation, the value of factor = 1
For linearincrease, linearreduce, the initialValue = 1, -1
For every other function, the initialValue = 0
