Multiply by percentage

[VGologist]

I'm trying to make an integer value equal a percentage of itself, but I'm not getting the right value. This is the equation I have:

Total = Integer x variable/100 or in code:

Set Train_Time[TempInteger] = (TrainingTime[UnitIndex] x (TrainingIncrement[UnitIndex] / 100))

I think you need to convert it to real. Integers cannot have fractions or decimal places.

sorry dont have we open but im sure theres a option (being that your trying to make it used by all builds of that unit) lol i might be getting confused with buildings although

Convert which value to real? The total?

 

[vypur85]

I'm not too sure myself. It should be the whole line.

Should be something like that:

Set Your_Integer = (Integer(((Real(Your_Integer)) x 0.10)))

If the Your_Integer becomes fractionised, then it will be 0 as default.

 

[cleeezzz]

probably your increment, its from 0.00 - 1.00
right?

if you convert the increment to real

it would be

Set Train_Time[TempInteger] = (TrainingTime[UnitIndex] x (Integer(TrainingIncrement[UnitIndex])))

lets say train time[temp integer] = 60 x (increment, for now, lets say 25%)

so 60 x .25 = 15

like vypur said, we're not sure because we dont know the range of your variables.
or for precise time, change all of the variables to real. (unless of course you want a rounded answer)

 

[VGologist]

Perfect! Thanks! Forgot about Real values...

I guess it would already work if you changed it from
time * (increment / 100)
to
(time * increment) / 100

The order of multiplication never matters, AceHart.

 

[AceHart]

For division though, it may.
If that increment is less than 100, the result from that integer division will be 0.
If you multiply first, it's different.

 

[Pyrogasm]

Right. I forgot warcraft math is retarded.

 

[AceHart]

Actually, that's perfectly normal.

 

[Pyrogasm]

When working only with integers, yes... but, well, the stupid rounding conventions (1.99999 rounds to 1.0) are still dumb.

 

[AceHart]

Yes, they may come unexpected for first-timers.
But, actually, there is no rounding going on... there simply are no decimals.
