Enemy Scaling Issue

[Squibs]

I'm trying to create an event where every time a "boss" is hit, it shrinks a little in size.

I want to hit the enemy 142 times, and on the 142nd shot he'll be dead. I've set it up like this:


1.)collision between "bullet" and "boss"

-add 1 to alterable value "H" on "boss"
-Set scale to (142-(Alterable Value H( "boss" )))/(142)
-destroy "bullet"


2.)When alterable value "H" of "boss" equals 142

-destroy "boss"
-jump to frame "w/e"


Now I would think that the scale should work like that, because 1.0 is the normal scale (100%) and
then every decimal below that is just a lower percentage. So if I hit the "boss" 32 times, the decimal
would be 0.775 (77.5%), which should shrink the "boss" down to 77.5% of its' normal size. But when I hit
the boss with the bullet, the "boss" just goes invisible and still does the rest of what he is supposed to do.


Am I doing something wrong?
Is there another way to do this?
Can you do this at all?

Thanks if you help me out.

I'm guessing it's a problem with the result of your formula being rounded down to "0".

Try this:
- Set scale to (142-(Alterable Value H( "boss" )))/(142.0)
(note the ".0" at the end)

Yep that was it MuddyMole, thanks a lot. I appreciate it.
