Multiple

[Guitaristinmakin]

is there a way to tell when like a counter equals a multiple of a number? Like if I want to set the counters multiple to 10 and like 10, 20, 30.... it does the actions I want it to?

check if: value mod 10 (or whatever the multiple is) = 0

so something like:

value("Score") mod 10 = 0
+ Only one action when event loops (usually)
--> [do whatever]

I don't understand...

If you do (Number 1 mod Number 2) it will return the remainder of Number 1 divided by Number 2. The two numbers are the operands and "mod" represents the modulo operator.

If they are multiples then the remainder will be 0. Hence you can use the special object's "Compare two general values" condition to compare the mod operation with 0 to determine that they are multiples. The "only one action when event loops" is another condition of the special object which means the event will not be triggered repeatedly while it remains true (although this will mean if it jumps straight from one multiple to another it won't detect it).

This has many uses, for example n mod 2 will return 1 if it an odd number and 0 if it is an even number. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modulo_operation for more details.

I think I've asked this before, and sorry to ask again, but how do you do square root?
