Something didnt work...variables

[heyimnotnoob]

I wanted to make a trigger that made it so every level you would get a certain precentage of your current gold given to you...

Unfortunatly, this did not work and at 100 gold, i still got none of this extra gold..help me...

EDIT: oh, here are the actions

Event: Player 12s food becomes 0 or less

Condition: Defeat Equal to false

Actions: set Gold(variable) = (player1 current gold) x (14/100)

I dont get ANY extra gold no matter how much gold i have...

What did i do wrong>??

oh and i added an action that says:

Add Gold(variable) to Player 1's current gold

and i made the gold variable an intiger.

what happend

 

[Sargon]

Don't even bother with the variable. Just put the calculation part in to the "add X to player's current gold" part (put it where X is).

 

[heyimnotnoob]

but i want it to add a precentage of whats already owned by the player.

 

[Sargon]

I know. Put the whole calculation there. That is, put (player1 current gold) x (14/100) there.

The problem is that, when you do "14/100", you are deviding integers. 14/100 will result in 1, and if you multiply your gold by one, you get the same gold. Try doing something like:

Game - Set Player Gold (To Value): Set to Integer(Real(Gold of (Picked Player)) * 1.14)

uh...

feel free to call me a noob, but i dont quite understand that, can you type that again but with how i would add that to the trigger in the form of actions and events and conditions, not codes...or tell me how to add that to the trigger

and if i put this code thing in there, would i have to delete the stuff that i put in that was false?

and sargon i put that thing that you said, in there

Make Korolen's action the only action your trigger has.

 

[heyimnotnoob]

look, can you put that as actions and events in a trigger in a blank map for me, and copy it as text, into a post, so that i can read it without going

Sorry, but I don't have Warcraft installed on the computer I am currently using. I will try to explain it to the best of my ability.

A whole number is a number like 1, 2, 5, 10, 17, 95, 1024, or 819203. A decimal number can be like 1.5, 1.9, 86.2, 1.14, 3.1415, 9283.9182, ect. In Warcraft, Whole numbers are called "Integers", and a decimal number is called a "Real". If you divide 10 by 2 (Both integers), then you will get five. If you divide 10 by 4, instead of getting 2.5, you would get 2, because the result is an Integer, and Integers can't be inbetween two numbers. Note that the result is not rounded, but is instead floored (rounded down). If you wanted to get 2.5 as the result, you would have to divide Real numbers.

In your Gold problem, when you divide 14/100, the answer is 0, because they are Integers, which are rounded down. To get the result .14, you will need to divide Reals. Note that this step can be totally bypassed by putting in ".14" into the Real box.

Now, we have a problem. You cannot do arithmitic on two numbers of different types. IE: You can't multiply a player's current gold by .14, because the player's gold is an Integer, and .14 is a Real. In order to get around this, you would have to convert the gold value to a real. If you converted .14 to an Integer, it would become 0, because Integers can't be in-between.

After you succesfully calculate how much to add, you want to add it to the player's current gold. This can be done by putting the calculated value into the "Game - Modify Player Recource". However, I't won't accept it! The reson is, is that the gold has to be an Integer, and the calculated value is a Real! How inconvienent. To convert the Real to an Integer, you can use the "Conversion - Convert Real to Integer" function. Note that you may want to round the real value with "Math - Round Number".

After you put it all together, you get something like this:

Game - Add to Player's Gold: Add Integer(Real(Gold of (Picked Player)) * 0.14) to (Picked Player)'s gold.

I hope this helps!
