In the MUD I play, each character's total exp is calculated in what is called "worth". There is also a tax on this worth if you decide to reincarnate. I've made triggers to keep track of the tax percent and when it lowers, but the problem is that for some reason, if the tax is over 20m exp, it won't show correctly (gives a value of -3% or something similar. So, I changed in to using a floating point variable with the %float command. NOW, the tax is shown like this: 5.56522846221924 %. Kind of long. I was wondering if there was a way to make it rounded to just the whole number AND hundredths. Ex-

5.56522846221924 would be 5.57 (rounding up from the 5 thousandth.

Thank you for your time and any help you might shed on this.

This is cheese but here:

#FU {GiveMeaName} {%word("%1",1,".").%if(%right(%left(%word("%1",2,"."),2),1)>4,%eval(%left(%word("%1",2,"."),2)+1),%left(%word("%1",2,"."),2))}

usage: #SHOW @GiveMeaName(5.56522846221924)

You might also want to look into the %format function. Example:
#SHOW %format(2,1.3265362323)

shows:
1.33
