i was wonder if there is a way to make floating point numbers show with only 2 decimals ?
or is there another way to do this without %float ?

If you are looking to do a perctage display for 0 to 99 percent then I would suggest using integer math for better speed. This is done by multiplying first then dividing. ie (79*100/97 would give a percentage for 79/97)

You can also use %float and %format if you need a more options, but generally anything can be done with integer math with just as much precision.

Be aware though when multiplying first that after multiplication internal value must not exceed 32-bit limit for integers.

i'm using this trigger just to calculate how much percent of which kind i'm doing.
put the variable as integer, and now it's accurate, but it got like 10 decimals. any way to reduce it ? i mean like when i have the percent value put into an emote or such,
looks really stupid with 10 decimals, 2 would do just fine

%format is what you're after

From the help examples, #SHOW %format(2, 1.23456)
would show 1.23

the example worked fine, but when applied to variable it didn't quite work out.
#var meleepercent gives me Variable: + meleepercent (Integer) 86.4864864864865
#show %format(2,@meleepercent) gives me 86.00

nm this reply, got it working now, had the variable set to integer, but trying to handle it as floating point with %format

Ah, try doing
%format(2, (%1 * 100.00 / %2))

(replacing the %1 and %2 where appropriate)
putting the .00 after multiplying by 100 forces it to be a decimal not int
