1384.61535644531 < 1384 according to %int() ??

So, been working on a script that would determine in what order it was best to buy things in order to maximize income and minimize waste of money
With the help of MattLofton, Charneus and Taz I pretty much have gotten the code working how I want it.
I wound up needing to do it in Excel to be able to even confirm that it was working correctly.
One thing is that there are the rare occasions where it will say that a higher # is lower.
For example
| Code: |
Excel zMud
Estate 1366.15 Estate 1,366.15
Estate 1370.77 Estate 1,370.77
NightClub 1375.00 NightClub 1,375.00 <--- Low
Estate 1375.38 Estate 1,375.38 <--- High
Estate 1380.00 Estate 1,380.00
Casino 1384.00 Estate 1,384.62 <--- High
Estate 1384.62 Casino 1,384.00 <--- Low
Estate 1389.23 Estate 1,389.23

Here's the code that i put together. It's not pretty but it works (with the exception of the high/low hiccup)
There's no pattern to it with it being every X amount of hits before it happens. But it DOES happen as far as I can tell just with the Estate. Like no NightClub/Casino or any other combo. It always is the Estate/something
But even then there's no real pattern because as I also showed above, there's a nightclub/estate that worked fine and if it had the error all the time it should have been reversed.
I'm not sure if it's something in the code that i mixed up, or just one of those hiccups that zmud rarely has.
Wouldn't be shocked if it's related to the #if's after the #ECHO @SRPurchase - @SRLowestTemp
I've never been very good at getting #if's to nest correctly. Always seem to screw them up.

If anyone could point me in the right direction thank you 
If it's just something i'll have to live with then, aw well 
What I like about this code more than the excel version is because in excel i did the computations for the items 1,000 times each. I lined them all up so that I had all 5,000 rows in one line. sorted them by the calc that I was using.
Then ran the zMud version and logged that.
In the excel version the 5,000th item listed was
Mansion 51635.00
In zMud the 5,000th item was
Island 12212.50
I don't even want to guess how many more thousands of lines i would have needed in excel to get those results.

Even though I had mentioned to use %int earlier, try using Mattlofton's suggestion of %float instead, considering you are working with decimal numbers. I should have realized that earlier, but didn't. :P

he'd told me previously: Use .0 or %float(#) to use floating-point math.
So i've been using the .0 method
| Code: |
#VAR SREstateCost {87000} {_nodef}
#VAR SREstateGain {65.0} {_nodef}
#VAR SREstateTemp {1338.46154785156} {_nodef} |
so that's working.
My problem now is that sometimes it thinks a decimal is lower than the whole #
Unless there's another part that i'm not understanding. |

What I'm saying is change:
| Code: |
| #IF (%int( @SRNightCTemp) <= %int( @SRMansionTemp)) |
into:
| Code: |
| #IF (%float(@SRNightCTemp)<= %float(@SRMansionTemp)) |
That should solve the problem.

Perfect Char!!! 
Now if only I can get this to correctly use large #'s in the billions...really wanted to just plug in how much $ i had and spit out what I could buy...aw well. |

That's a problem with the max size of a signed integer, which is 2,147,483,648. CMUD raises the limit to 9,223,372,036,854,775,808, which is much better. Beyond that, there's this thread that adds limited support for larger numbers, or you could write something yourself that would break apart large numbers into multiple items, or store them as a string instead.

 Holy ...
LOVE IT!!!!
Wish i'd known about that sooner!! Would have saved me from going to bed after 3AM for 3 days straight.
Since this is my 1st touch of #SCRIPT i have a question:
I don't seem to find the scripts in the settings when i do a search for like islessthan
I know I can type #script and get it listed, but where exactly is it?
Will i have to input all the #SCRIPTs if i shut down and restart zMud? |

I suspect you'll have to re-input your #scripts, yes. In this case, zMUD is using the Windows Script Host to communicate with, I think, VBScript, and when zMUD closes the link stops.
