A sector can be imagined as a slice from a circular cake.
This code will check to see if a point falls within a sector.
The sector can be any size and facing any direction.

set display mode 640, 480, 32, 1

type type_sector
	x 					as float
	y 					as float
	radius 			as float
	angle 			as float
	size 				as float
endtype

global sector 		as type_sector
global vDistance 	as integer = 1

sector.x          = 320
sector.y          = 240
sector.radius     = 240
sector.angle      = 0
sector.size       = 45 `Make this half of the angle of the sector (to save future calculations) 
null              = make vector2( vDistance )

	center text 320, 450, "Use arrow keys to rotate and scale the sector"
	center text 320, 465, "Use ctrl/shift to change sector size"

function in_sector( x as integer, y as integer )

This would work well with the pie chart code.

oh my god...

any chance this could be modified to display images and create a GUI system that's like HowDo's pie-chart idea?

I'm unfamiliar with images and memblocks, but this might be worth getting that on my list of reading material.

I could just make images shaped like this but hard-coded for angles is probably easier, with images loading in arcs.

Edit: Similar to my button system (below somewhere), with mouseover and mouseclick being displayed differently.

Nice work Scraggle. This a very clean way to have an AI "see" within a forward-viewing area.

Scraggle, you have inspired me. Here is a 3D version of your sector code (you might hardly recognize it).

Basics - same as yours, just added in a Vertical arc sector along with the Horizontal arc sector. Because there is a lot of 3D information, objects were used to pass data to the function instead of individual data items (coordinates, angles, arcs, and so on). It currently only works on a horizontal plain in a 3D environment; as opposed to allowing full 3D rotation.

The snippet is below in the code box. I've also upload a sample showing how the sector works using a Peripheral Vision demo. Objects within the sector's arc and radius become fully visible, while objects outside of the sector are dimmed.

This image shows the values that need to be passed to the function (and also what the sector looks like).

For the demo, use the WASD keys to move the camera around. Press the Space key to "lock" the camera's position current position (as far as the Peripheral Vision code is concerned) and move around to see what the arc looks like from the side.

RiiDii, I helped you out a little with rotation and 3D sectors.

You will need to make 1 vector and 4 matrices for it to work.

Untested but it should work.
