Alterable Value Limit?

[Fanotherpg]

Like in thread name, is there any maximum limit for alterable value? Because of counter there is one (999999999 or something like that)... And for alterable values?

I was looking in the help file information about it but it wants me to go for Common Properties page, which doesn't exist so... I'm asking here.

I believe it is 999999999

Just wondering, are there any conventional programing-wise limits in MMF2? Like chars, shorts, short longs, longs, ints, floats, ect? Do counter objects automatically resize when you set thier min and max to the appropriate range? Or is all this a bit pointless because of how the system works? I'd be very interested to find out how this works.

The limits depends if the number is stored as a decimal value or an integer. As far as I know MMF only works with 32 bit integers and floats, at least parameters for extensions do.

If the value is an integer the range is -2147483648 to 2147483647, if the result of a calculation or similar ends up outside these boundaries the value will wrap around.

I'm not sure what the exact limit is for floating point numbers, they can go higher than integers but they lose accuracy the higher they get.

The maximum alterable values for objects is 26, but global values I have no idea

bigredron, I think the question was how high the number can go for an Alterable Value. Hopefully, Fanotherpg will slap me around if I'm wrong.

Yeh you are probably right, im sure he know's how MMF works by now as he is an active community member. Thought I would answer anyway for the newbies reading

Alterable values are stored as 32-bit ints or double-precision (64-bit) floating point values, which have an incredible range. It's a weakness of the extension SDK that extensions can only use 32-bit float parameters and returns.

Thanks all for answering.

Nivram you are right my point was about how big value can be not how many we can use.

Bigredon yes we've got 26 values but thanks to ValueAdd extension it becomes unlimited.

Also it causes that still I have to sent updated version of my game to Klikdisc - and help me to find one IMHO bad design in MMF itself. But about that later on.
