 | | Spybot studies: SetTxDirection() confusion
|
|
John, I noticed the SetTxDirection() function in your mana_control.nqc program. I thought it might be useful for my project, so it became my next subject of study. The spy.nqh shows this: #define TX_DIRECTION_FRONT_LEFT 0 #define (...) (21 years ago, 7-Nov-03, to lugnet.robotics.spybotics)
