TTC with decimal number input

[DavAlan]

I came up with a need for a TTC (Travel Time Calculator) that takes decimal numbers as input for "mid point calculations" while in warp and decided do a quick 5 minute code job using C++ ....would be a nice feature to add to spacetrace. The code and output is very basic but...here it is....anyone with a C++ compiler can compile this into an exe file and hack away at it. Anyone without a compiler can msg me ingame for a working exe....

The distance calculation function will also determine the closest point on a line segment to a given point off the line. I will be modifying this code to allow for setting course vectors soon.

#include <iostream.h>
#include <conio.h>
#include <math.h>

#define MAX(a,b) ( (a)>(b) ? (a) : (b) )
#define MIN(a,b) ( (a)>(b) ? (b) : (a) )

int main()
{
float line_seg_point_dist_3d ( float x1, float y1, float z1, float x2,
float y2, float z2, float x, float y, float z );
float x1, y1, z1, x2,y2, z2, d;
float midx, midy, midz, t;
int s,m,h,w;
clrscr();
cout << "x1:" << endl;
cin >> x1;
cout << "y1:" << endl;
cin >> y1;
cout << "z1:" << endl;
cin >> z1;
cout << "x2:" << endl;
cin >> x2;
cout << "y2:" << endl;
cin >> y2;
cout << "z2:" << endl;
cin >> z2;
cout << "wf:" << endl;
cin >> w;
d = line_seg_point_dist_3d (x1, y1, z1, x1, y1, z1, x2, y2, z2);
midx = fabs((x2-x1) / 2) + fabs(x1);
midy = fabs((y2-y1) / 2) + fabs(y1);
midz = fabs((z2-z1) / 2) + fabs(z1);
cout << "DISTANCE = " << d << endl;
s = d * 3600 * 2.5;
s /= w;
h = s / 3600;
s = s % 3600;
m = s / 60;
s = s % 60;
cout << "ETA: " << h << " HOURS / " << m << " MINUTES / " << s << " SECONDS " << endl;
cout << "IN THE MIDDLE OF THESE COORDINATES: " << midx << "/" << midy << "/" << midz << endl;
getch();
return 0;
}

float line_seg_point_dist_3d ( float x1, float y1, float z1, float x2,
float y2, float z2, float x, float y, float z )
{
float bot;
float dist;
float t;
float xn;
float yn;
float zn;
if ( x1 == x2 && y1 == y2 && z1 == z2 ) {
xn = x1;
yn = y1;
zn = z1;
}
else {

bot =
( x1 - x2 ) * ( x1 - x2 )
+ ( y1 - y2 ) * ( y1 - y2 )
+ ( z1 - z2 ) * ( z1 - z2 );

t = (
( x1 - x ) * ( x1 - x2 )
+ ( y1 - y ) * ( y1 - y2 )
+ ( z1 - z ) * ( z1 - z2 ) ) / bot;

t = MAX ( t, 0.0 );
t = MIN ( t, 1.0 );

xn = x1 + t * ( x2 - x1 );
yn = y1 + t * ( y2 - y1 );
zn = z1 + t * ( z2 - z1 );

}

dist = sqrt (
( xn - x ) * ( xn - x )
+ ( yn - y ) * ( yn - y )
+ ( zn - z ) * ( zn - z ) );

return dist;
}

Ii thought that the title was clear enough....nice to see some programator helping out.

Indeed, it is nice to see a programmer in the game helping out.
What puzzles me, is what you would need this for.
Nevertheless, I'm sure many players will think it will come in handy so thanks DavAlan for helping out the game.
