Double conditional "if" on HLSL

Hi People,

I´m working on a point sprite shader with rotation based on the acceleration of the particles.
The conversion “Angle= asin (Acceleration/4)” works but it seems that the rotation of the quads is inverted for Angle > 0.25(East) and < 0.75(West).

I want to invert the angle in this part using this code, but only works the first conditional.
Am I missing something?

float Accel3 =normalize(tex2Dlod(SampData, TexCd).ba);
float Angle=asin (Accel/4);     

if (Angle >= 0.25)  
{Angle=Angle;}

else if (Angle>= 0.75)
{Angle=1-Angle;}

Is it possible to use a sort of double conditional?
like:

if [Angle <= 0.25) "and" (Angle >= 0.75](https://vvvv.org/documentation/Angle-<=-0.25)-"and"-(Angle->=-0.75)
{Angle=Angle;}
else
{Angle=1-Angle;}

Any idea would be very appreciated.

thanks in advance.

You mean boolean math operators?

AND: &&
OR: ||

if ( (Angle <= 0.25) && (Angle >= 0.75) )

Thanks, ft,

i´ve tried it without success, it compiles but it doesn´t change.

if [ Angle>=0.25) && (Angle<=0.75](https://vvvv.org/documentation/Angle>=0.25)-&&-(Angle<=0.75)
{Angle=1-Angle}

if [ Angle<0.25) && (Angle>0.75](https://vvvv.org/documentation/Angle<0.25)-&&-(Angle>0.75)
{Angle=Angle}

Is there other way to write it?

My Vertex shader looks like this,

vs2ps VS(
    float4 Pos : POSITION ,
    float4 TexCd : TEXCOORD0 ,
    float4 TexCdCol : TEXCOORD1
                                  )
{
    //inititalize all fields of output struct with 0
    vs2ps Out = (vs2ps)0;

    //get the position info from the Position-velocity texture:
    float2 particlePosition = tex2Dlod(SampData, TexCd).rg;
    float Accel  =  abs[tex2Dlod(SampData, TexCd).ab)+(tex2Dlod(SampData, TexCd).ba](https://vvvv.org/documentation/tex2Dlod(SampData,-TexCd).ab)+(tex2Dlod(SampData,-TexCd).ba)*10*Gamma;
    float Accel2 =  max (1,(1/(abs[tex2Dlod(SampData, TexCd).ab)+(tex2Dlod(SampData, TexCd).ba](https://vvvv.org/documentation/tex2Dlod(SampData,-TexCd).ab)+(tex2Dlod(SampData,-TexCd).ba)*20*Gamma+MinSize)));
    float Accel3 = (normalize(tex2Dlod(SampData, TexCd).ba));
    float Angle  = (atan (Accel3/4));
	
    if  [Angle >= 0.25)  && (Angle<= 0.75](https://vvvv.org/documentation/Angle->=-0.25)--&&-(Angle<=-0.75)
    {Angle=1-Angle;}
    else  
    {Angle=Angle;}

     if(Accel >= MaxColor)
     { Accel= MaxColor;}
     else 
     { Accel= Accel; }
   
     Pos = mul(Pos, tW);
   
     //now apply the position taken from the texture
   
     Pos.xy = rotate( (Pos.xyz), 0, 0, (Angle))+particlePosition.xy;   //rotate1.z does the roll
     Pos = mul(Pos, tPost);

    //then apply the tVP
    Out.Pos = mul(Pos, tVP);
    Out.TexCdCol = mul(TexCdCol, mul(tTexCol,Accel2));
    Out.Vcol = (tex2Dlod(SampColPP1, TexCd)*(1-MaxColor+Accel)+ tex2Dlod(SampColPP2, TexCd)*(MaxColor-Accel));
	return Out;
    }

Angles are not between 0 and 1 in HLSL, they are in radians

So add:

  • define PI 3.14159265

for PI you can also use acos(-1), works fine too.

and multiply at will ;)

Thanks a lot vux,
now i understand it better.
But still some questions,
it works well in the X axis (from Pi/2 to 2Pi/3), but when the particles move through the Y axis they doesn´t change the direction (always 0).

Maybe is this not the best way to obtain the rotation values?
Any tip?

Ari

float Accel3 = (normalize(tex2Dlod(SampData, TexCd).ba));
	float Angle  = (atan (Accel3))/Pi;
	
	
    if  [Angle >= (Pi/2](https://vvvv.org/documentation/Angle->=-(Pi/2)  && (Angle<= (TwoPi/3)))
    {Angle=1-Angle;}
    else  
    {Angle=Angle;}
   
    if(Accel >= MaxColor)
    { Accel= MaxColor;}
    else 
    { Accel= Accel; }
   
    Pos = mul(Pos, tW);
   
    //now apply the position taken from the texture
    Pos.xy = rotate( (Pos.xyz), 0, 0, (Angle))+particlePosition.xy;  //rotate1.z does the roll
   
    Pos = mul(Pos, tPost);

try atan2, it gives the right angle for all directions. and first you devide by Pi, setting the angle range to 0…2 and then you check for Pi/2 which does not look right.

Yeah!
Tonfilm, vux, ft i owe you a beer ;)

float2 Accel3 = normalize(tex2Dlod(SampData, TexCd).ba);
float Angle  = atan2 [Accel3.x),(-Accel3.y](https://vvvv.org/documentation/Accel3.x),(-Accel3.y)/TwoPi;

It works perfect.
