I want to have a float or double variable rather than an integer used for my enemies hp, to be able to have decimals, but I need it to be an actor variable. Can I do this? Is it already not a global variable? If I can't use float or double for this, what can I use?

Yes you can. Set the variable type to real (same thing as double), and make it an actor variable.

Oh, I didn't realize or I forgot that that's what a "real" variable is, okay thank you!

Out of curiosity, what is the difference between float and double?

It is really just the size. A float is usually 4 bytes, while a double is 8. This means much larger range for the double.

Are there any behavioral differences? Or is it just size?
