Flozi: Port UnitsOfMeasurement page from CA wiki

Port UnitsOfMeasurement page from CA wiki

New page

=Units of Measurement=
==Overview==
This page is copied from the [http://trac.caspring.org/wiki/UnitsOfMeasurement CA wiki]. It is a list of the many and varied units of measurement Spring Game developers have to deal with. Fortunately, all of the [[Animation-CobOverview | COB]] based units can be ignored if you are using [[Animation-LuaScripting | LUS]].
==Base Units==
===Time===
* '''Seconds (s)'''
* '''Frames (f)''' - There are 30 frames in a second.
* '''Resource Frames''' - There are 32 resource frames in a second.
* '''SlowUpdate''' - These occur every 16 frames.

===Linear===
* '''Elmo''' - Fundamental linear unit of Spring.
* '''Footprint Unit''' - This is equal to 16 elmos. Note that in Upspring or when building a unit in game you actually see two squares per side on a footprint square. Used in UnitDef and FeatureDef <code>footPrint{X,Z}</code> tags. (See [[Units-UnitDefs#Movement_.26_Placement | Units-UnitDefs]] and [[Units-FeatureDefs]])
* '''COB linear unit (clu)''' - 1 clu is 1/216 elmo. Scriptor can automatically converts to COB units based on a constant that you set (default: 2.5 elmos).
* '''Map Size''' - This appears to be 512 elmos; thus a 16x16 map is about 8192 elmos on a side.

===Angular===
* '''Degrees'''
* '''COB angular unit (cau)''' - There are 216 = 65536 cau in a circle, which means there are 182.044... cau per degree. Scriptor automatically converts to cau based on a constant that you set (default converts from degrees).
* '''1/45055 circle''' - Used for <code>accuracy</code> and <code>sprayAngle</code> (see [[Units-WeaponDefs]]).
* '''Radians (rad)''' - There are 2 * pi radians in a circle. Used in lua.

==Derived Units==
===Velocity, Acceleration===
* '''Elmo / Second (elmo/s)''' - Used for weapon velocity.
* '''Elmo / Second2 (elmo/s2)''' - Used for weapon acceleration, map gravity. "Default" gravity is 130.
* '''Elmo / Frame (elmo/f)''' - Used for unit velocity.
* '''Elmo / Frame2 (elmo/f2)''' - Used for unit acceleration.
* '''COB linear units / Second (clu/s)''' - Used for COB move statement speed. Always positive even if the movement is in a negative direction.

===Angular Velocity, Angular Acceleration===
* '''COB angular units/Second (cau/s)''' - Used for weapon turn rate; COB turn and spin speed. Always positive even if the movement is in a negative direction.
* '''COB angular units/ Frame (cau/f)''' - Used for unit turn rate. (Actually uses 65535 in a circle instead of 65536, but that's not enough to matter in most cases.)
* '''COB angular units/ Frame-Second (cau/(f*s))''' - Used for COB spin acceleration. Note that COB acceleration is signed, unlike COB speed; if you want a negative spin, you need negative acceleration.
