Gaussian Wave Properties Cannot be Adjusted [Will's Branch: modalUI]

[kylemas]

• There seems to be a bug with the modal menu.
• Gaussian wave properties cannot be adjusted through the sliders on the menu.

The reason the Gaussian wavelength cannot be adjusted is because of the following code found in the ProceduralGrid2 script:

        if (play)
        {
            // loops through the list of functions
            if (funcVR < 6)
            {
                sec += speedOfWave;
                // set vertex offset - because we don't have a permanent size
                for (int v = 0; v < gridSize * gridSize; v++)
                {
                    // here the wavelength is used to calculate the vertices y coordinate
                    vertices[v].y = amplitude * f(vertices[v].x / wavelength, vertices[v].z / wavelength, frequency * sec);
                }
            }
            else
                for (int v = 0; v < gridSize * gridSize; v++)
                    // here wavelength is not used
                    vertices[v].y = amplitude * yVals[yPresent, v];

            zeroFDedges();  // Let's kill off the edges, to give a hard reflecting boundary for the waves
            oneFDstep();
        }

All the waves with funcVR < 6, which are all the waves except for Gaussian, have their vertices calculated using the wavelength variable. However, for some reason the Guassian vertices cannot be calculated using the wavelength variable. Will look into this!

The cause of this was that in the ProceduralGrid2 script's update function we have the following code:

            if (funcVR == 5)
            {
                makeGrid();
            }

if we add && play to the conditional then the mexican hat wave doesnt change

            if (funcVR == 5 && play)
            {
                makeGrid();
            }
