Point of intersection between 2 lines
From Director Online Wiki
function to determine the intersect point between 2 lines.
-- p1, p2 -- start and endpoint of first line -- p3, p4 -- start and endpoint of second line on PointofIntersection p1,p2,p3,p4 denominator = (p4[2]-p3[2])*(p2[1]-p1[1]) - (p4[1]-p3[1])*(p2[2]-p1[2]) if denominator = 0 then return 0 num1 = (p4[1]-p3[1])*(p1[2]-p3[2]) - (p4[2]-p3[2])*(p1[1]-p3[1]) num2 = (p2[1]-p1[1])*(p1[2]-p3[2]) - (p2[2]-p1[2])*(p1[1]-p3[1]) Ua = num1/float(denominator) Ub = num2/float(denominator) if (Ua >= 0 AND Ua < 1) AND (Ub >= 0 AND Ub < 1) then x = p1[1] + ua * (p2[1] - p1[1]) y = p1[2] + ua * (p2[2] - p1[2]) return point(x,y) else return -1 end
