Can global values be passed through counters?

[Apex]

I've been working on my percentage counter recently which takes the total number of stars a played has earned after playing compared to the number of stars they could have earned during the amount of levels they completed.

Initially I had the expression worked out as such to display in a counter....

Percentage = Global Value P/(score("Player 1")*3)*100

Global Value P is the stars that they have earned.
The players score reflects the level they reached and 3 stars are available per level so the bracketed section is working out the maximum number of theatrical stars the player could have earned.

The percentage is to work out how much of the total stars the player earned. However this formula fails me every time. I have reason to believe it is the global value that is making it fail. After all, I am now testing and cannot even get a global value to show in a counter. How can I feed these global value in to the formula and get myself a working percentage formula?

Thanks in advance! Swift response would make me very grateful. I'm in a hurry.

It sounds like just the usual issue of MMF2 rounding down floats. Replace the "3" with a "3.0"

That didn't seem to work. It did make a difference. It gave a percentage into the thousands though.

In that case you've gone wrong somewhere else, and are setting either the global value or score to the wrong number - check your code. It has nothing to do with using global values.

You can use the MMF2 debugger to check the values while the game is running.
