bge.types.KX_RadarSensor incorrect attributes #31813

%%%Hi,

Another one with Radar Sensor.

I used 2.63a to run the tests.

A)
The "Angle:" parameter at the GUI is set to 90.000. The radar sensor's attribute "angle" returns 1.0. That does not match.
Another test: GUI 126.8 -> angle = 2.0

It turns out that KX_RadarSensor.angle returns the base radius of the radar cone. According to the documentation and according to the name it should return an angle.
I suggest to change it that it returns the value entered at the GUI.

B)
Nevertheless this length parameter is quite useful.

KX_RadarSensor has another attribute: getConeHeight() [according to the documentation]
This is missing completely. I guess this is a bug in the documentation.

The funny thing is "angle" currently returns what getConeHeight() should provide. Because of that the configured angle value is not provided.

I suggest to introduce another attribute: coneHeight ( or better coneSize/coneRadius/radius )
This attribute can return what attribute "angle" returns now.
It could be read-only or another way to setup the radar sensor.

Thanks
Monster%%%

%%%I'm committed a fix for A as r47869. As for B, use KX_RadarSensor.distance. The doc updates from r47869 will take a while to propagate to the online docs.

Does this solve both your problems then?%%%
