Simple question!
|
I'm attempting to find the average of some variables, I'm going about it like so
#math totalpercfail (((@totalnone+@totalfade+@totalblow)/@totalchant)*100)
The *100 is because I figured it may round up if it's below zero, but even then I'm not getting anything but 0.
Now I'm no algebraic genius, but I think that's the correct format for the equation I want done, and I searched a while to discover / was the symbol for division. Am I using the wrong command or something? |

Try add %float(@totalchant)

hmm, well I don't see anything wrong with that but Cmud sometimes rounds things funny.
You might try: (((@totalnone+@totalfade+@totalblow)*100)/@totalchant) as your expression |

That did the trick, thanks alot.
So when looking for percentages I just have to multiply everything by 100 before hand :P |

float?
adding .00 to all your numbers involving a non-whole number should work. |

Changing the order of the equation so that it multiplied before diving worked.
I am dividing by variables, so where in the stage do I add .00? in the triggers that set the variables, or ((@myvar.00+@myvartoo.00)/100)? |

Whoa, so setting all my triggers to define my variables by 1.00 works, but now when the math is done it rounds to about eight places. Anyone know a way to just make it to the hundredths place?
