It would be a welcome addition if the aw browser could incorporate RUVAT functions into the move commands for example...

Create move [(t)x (4t^2)y (4t^2)z] time=5 loop

To have the object move in a double parabolic curve along X and Z axis.

Speaking of which I have a test on RUVAT on monday >_<

sound like a good idea, but how many kids are going to know how to use
anywho lol.

[View Quote] Never heard of it. Besides, I'm fairly sure you could recreate something similar
with the current system.

Nah, it wont support parabolic functions.

[View Quote] Who said anything about functions. If you move further with one value than you do
another say 0 2 3 it's going to create an elipse. Why do you need parabolic
movement? Are you in need of something groovishly infinately that a circle can't do
itself? Besides, once it moves out of your range there's not much point (just create
one big ass circle).

A non-straight line would require the result vector for each frame of
movement to change over time - hence the need for some function of x, y or z
to affect the increment values.

You could get a similar result by using both my proposed "orbit" command (if they add it), and the current move command, although yes it would be nice to see some sort of function or variable support.
