Adding Half a Counter's Value to Another Counter

[soloman]

Hi there. Quick question here guys. How do I add only half of Counter A's value to Counter B?

Counter B: add to counter: value( "Counter A" )/2

Thank you. That was such a stupid question. I was setting counters in in a certain way and was trying to do the same when it came time to add half a value. Boy do I feel sheepish.

Also, MMF doesn't use floating decimal numbers unless you specify. This may or may not matter depending on your game.

Counter B: add to counter: value( "Counter A" )/2

What if counter A is 1? then Counter A/2 = 0

Why? Because half of 1 is 0.5, but that's a decimal number, so MMF rounds it down to 0.

To fix this use:
Counter B: add to counter: value( "Counter A" )/2.0

the .0 on the end specifies that you want to allow floating decimal numbers.

With this method if counter A = 1:
Counter A/2 = 0.5
