whole number to decimil conversion

[skadoomer]

Is there any way to convert a whole number (like 32 or 12) to have a decimil place with a 0? (like 32.0 or 12.0)?

Seems to me that this shouldn't really be an issue, as all integers are already reals. Do you have a script that is choking where you are trying to use an integer where it wants a real or something like that?

How do you mean "convert"? Under what circumstances? Where are you trying to do this?

hudmessage coordinates use the decimal place for format purposes. Here is one way to convert whole numbers to decimals:

variable setup:
int my_variable
my_variable = 16

and in the hudmessage coordinate field:
(my_variable << 16) + 0.1
will result in 16.1

edit: instead of adding 0.1, add 0.0

i have setup a healthbar system that measures your health level with a single colored bar, composed of a single pixel in height and 8 pixels in width. It operates similairly to that of megaman, where when you loose health, it removes a corresponding number of "bars" and adds them back in when you obtain health.

i've laid the foundation code, but see this as a potential problem.

This system operates on a sethudsize(640, 480, 0). I'm having a loop draw in, from screenpixels 8-108, (screenheight measurements) the bar along the y axis. Because the healthbar works on the same 100-0 health scale, it uses the diffference in the players health to tell the hudmessage printer how many bars are added/removed. Since this number, gotten from GetActorProperty is a whole number, it will break the hudmesssage printer when trying to derive how large the change to the healthbar will be. Being able to compensate for this by shifting the decimil place will hopefully make this problem just another small hurdle jumped.

I did a rough write up this afternoon, but it hasn't been tested yet so there's no guarentee this will work. Here is what i have so far:

Code: Select all

Script Health_Meter (void)
{
	SetHudSize(640, 480, 0);
	
       int minhealth = 108.0;
       int maxhealth = 8.0;

       int x;
	int diff;
	
	int hud_idmarker;
	int hud_iddiff;

	int healthcomp;
	int lasthealth;

	Setfont("health");
	for(x = minhealth; x > maxhealth - 1; x--)
	HudMessage(s:"A"; 0, x, -1, 16.0, x, 1);

	// Cycle check
	if(!lasthealth)
		 { 
			lasthealth = GetActorProperty(player_tid, APROP_Health);
		 }
	While(healthmod > 0) // the player is still alive
	{
		
		healthcomp = GetActorProperty(player_tid, APROP_Health);
		
		if(healthcomp < lasthealth) // player lost some health, this will be called first since we staart with maximum health in-game
		 {
			diff = lasthealth - healthcomp;
			if(!hud_idmarker)
			 {
				hud_idmarker =  maxhealth;
			 }
			else
			 {
				hud_idmarker = lasthud_marker;
			 }
			hud_iddiff = lastmarker - diff;
			for(x = lasthud_marker; x > hud_iddiff + 1; x--)
			HudMessage(s:" "; 1, x, -1, 16.0, x, 0, 0.1);
			
			lasthealth = GetActorProperty(player_tid, APROP_Health);
			lasthud_marker = hud_idmarker - diff;
	
		 }
	
		else if(healthcomp > lasthealth) //player gained health
		 {
			diff = lasthealth - healthcomp;
			hud_idmarker = lasthud_marker;
			hud_iddiff = lastmarker + diff;
			
			Setfont("health");
			for(x = lasthud_marker; x < hud_iddiff + 1; x++)
			 {
				HudMessage(s:"A"; 0, x, -1, 16.0, x, 1);
				delay(1);
			 }
			lasthealth = GetActorProperty(player_tid, APROP_Health);
			lasthud_marker = hud_idmarker + diff;
		else if(healthcomp == lasthealth)
		 {
			//print(s"health ", d:healthcomp); //debugging message
		 }
		Delay(1);
	}
HudMessage(s:" "; 0, 4, -1, 0.0, 0.0, 1);
Sethudsize(0,0,0);
}

Can this be used outside of the hudmessage as well? Given the sceneario above, i'd ideally need them to be situated within the for loop that spits off the coordinate locations.

Enjay already has a working hudmessage health bar implementation, if you'd like. Just click his "WWW" button.

I'm aware, but i don't like the way that one works. It relies too heavily on blocking the health of the character into incriments of 10 to print a change.

AFAIK

Code: Select all

fixednum = intnum * 1.0

(1.0 = 65536)

Can't ACS use Floats or Doubles?

Hmmm, I guess you can't - but you CAN use Modulus: %, which returns a remainder, (ie: .1 or whatever). You could prolly play with that and come up with something.

HEALTH BAR MOTHERBITCHES!!!!!

[Bio Hazard]

I had a smooth bar script at one time that was accurate down to 1%

I wonder where it went. Evryone seems to still be using these funky section based ones

[Risen]

Bio, I know where it went...

Okay, so I actually rewrote it, and I used it differently... but I might have your demo around somewhere...

[Galaxy_Stranger]

Can someone confirm whether or not ACS takes Floats or Doubles?

Is ACS completely compatible with C or is it stripped-down?

[Grubber]

ACS takes Fixeds .
