Percentages?

[Joeyotrevor]

Hello, I'm making a game and I want to show the percent of your hp, like 56% of hp left or something like that, but MMF2 doesn't seem to like decimals. Right now I'm doing this for the equation, which only works when the value is 100%:

value( "hp" )/maxvalue( "hp" )*100)

Is there a different equation I could use? An extension? Thanks

Try forcing MMF to use decimals like: value( "hp" )/(maxvalue( "hp" )*100.0)

Thanks, it worked! One more question, how would i make it round to the hundredths place? The Round() function rounds to the nearest whole number.

Multiply it by 100, round it, and then divide it by 100.

Try this:
Round(value( "hp" )/(maxvalue( "hp" )*100.0)*100)/100

Wow! That's a lot of 100's!!!

Hmmm... that should work but for some reason it doesn't. Heres what I have:
The original:
value( "exp" )/(maxvalue( "exp" )*1.0)*100
With the thing:
Round((value( "exp" )/(maxvalue( "exp" )*1.0)*100 )*100)/100

But it still displays as a whole number(9, 100, 50, etc.) instead of 9.54, 100.00, 50.45 etc.

EDIT:
Nevermind, If I don't divide it by 100 at the end it works! Thanks for the help. Now I have to find a way to stick a . in there...

Ok, I got the decimal in there, using this:

Str$(value( "exp" )/(maxvalue( "exp" )*1.0)*100)+"."+Str$(Round(((value( "exp" )/(maxvalue( "exp" )*1.0)*100)*100)-(value( "exp" )/(maxvalue( "exp" )*1.0)*100)))

BUT the digits after the decimal wont round..


Edit: Ah well, for now I'll just change the size of the string so the extra digits wont be seen.

[Dynasoft]

str$( round( value( "exp" ) * 100 * 100.0 / maxvalue( "exp" ) ) / 100.0 )

Should do it, including putting in the "." and two decimal places

EDIT: though as 1/100 is a recurring number in binary, you may not end up with only two places
