Man I hate math. Spent the last hour trying to figure out why sin() and cos() werent working, I thought it HAD to be me so I checked everything on my end before realizing the damn functions werent functioning the way they were SUPPOSED to.

After a bit of google'n I came across *PI/180, I guess the standard math.h uses radians or some crap? Ehe I got too used to dbpros version of sin/cos.

Anyway, is there a way to get a GOOD :p sin() cos() or am I stuck pasting *PI/180 in all my calculations.

I believe sin & cos do use radians, which means your stuck with pi/180, although why not use dbSin and dbCos ?
