Whats the deal with decimals.

[Syp3r]

Thanx for all your help but I dont need the stored value to be a float value, I just need it to calculate everything as a float, and than round it.

Also the im using different namedvaribles, I just said NAMEDVAR for simplification.

I would appreciate it if someone made an example of doing this in LUA.

Alright, doing something like this in Lua should be a fairly simple task.

What you would do is:

function DoCaculate(x,y)
return (x+0.0)/y;
end

from here you could call the lua function from MMF 2 and get the return value of the caculation, or you could do the following:


function DoCaculate(x,y)
return (x+0.0)/y;
end
myVar=DoCaculate(2,3);

and then myVar would be the public variable you would get in MMF 2.

I think you might need to create a .mfa for me because I had no succsess using lua to do this (I did try tho), I even managed to crash MMF.

So could you plz plz plz plz plz make an example, please.

I'm not really sure why you want to do this with LUA - just put Round( ... ) around your equation (and add the .0 bits). Without that, the named variable object will Floor your final value (Floor strips the decimal part without checking it, i.e. 1.8 becomes 1 instead of 2) So you need to force it to round instead. That should fix your problem.

If you want an example using Lua then please send me your email through a pm. I haven't configured my FTP servers on this laptop yet.
