Arc Element

POST WILL BE CHANGED FOR NEW ISSUES:How can I get it to attract to the electrode? The lightning attract function does work a little at short distances but not further away.
pNear = ARC_nearest_part(sim, i, parts[i].life*2.5);
if (pNear!=-1)
{
int t=parts[pNear].type;
float n_angle; // angle to nearest part
float angle_diff;
rx=parts[pNear].x-x;
ry=parts[pNear].y-y;
if (rx!=0 || ry!=0)
n_angle = atan2f(-ry, rx);
else
n_angle = 0;
if (n_angle<0)
n_angle+=M_PI*2;
angle_diff = fabsf(n_angle-parts[i].tmp*M_PI/180);
if (angle_diff>M_PI)
angle_diff = M_PI*2 - angle_diff;
if (parts[i].life<5 || angle_diff<M_PI*0.8) // ARC strike
{
create_line_par(sim, x, y, x+rx, y+ry, PT_ARC, parts[i].temp, parts[i].life, parts[i].tmp-90, 0);if (t!=PT_TESC)

parts[pNear].temp=parts[i].temp;

And have it cut in half becuase it's too big. -_-

It won't cut it in half ffs, it'll make it look readable. -
It cut in half, I tried repeatedly.
Attracting should be easier for ARC because it doesn't fork and only goes to ARCE. So what if I have the ARCEs send their coordinants to a global series of arrays and have the arc compute the nearest one and move it's tip there. Also, I want to get rid of the cursor size control, do I have to have this linked to the attraction?
