circular init script

[flay]

Has anybody perhaps worked out a circular init script for Phoenix? Something spherical or tubular for example?

Apparently I've managed to forget all things math over the weekend...

well, open the script window, there are templates of the event functions inside.
at the top is the function OnSimulationBegin, you have to put the initialization code here
there is a commented text inside, it looks like
/*
xc=this.xc; yc=this.yc; zc=this.zc;
for z=0 to zc do
for y=0 to yc do
for x=0 to xc do
(
)--*/
uncomment it, i.e. remove the leading /*
between the braced put the code
dx=x-centerx
dy=y-centery
dz=z-centerz
if dx*dx+dy*dy+dz*dz<radius*radius do ( write the initialization set functions here , for example a_sett x y z 2000 )
this will init a spherical area, to convert it in a circle you have to use only two coordinates and fixed value for the third axis

btw why script? you can use brush to initialize any region
