small code problem

[Zehper48]

ok i have a problem with my code, here it is

Code: Select all

no1.textNumber = goalxpV - currentxpV /55;

ok, when i do this, my text number doesnt get divided by 55, it gets turned into a realy weird number
and goalxpV = 388 and currentxpV = 0 in this case,
what should i do differently? are there any obvious mistakes..


Thanks!

Any way to post your code? It could be that the variables are integers, or there is simply a silly typo somewhere in the code. From the above statement, there is just not enough info to come to a good conlcusion.

it gives out 7.05454545454... right?
well, let me tell ya why in a simple thing

388 - 0 /55
=(388-0)/55
=388/55

so you see, you need to do this

no1.textNumber=goalxpV-(currentxpV/55);

i want it to give me 7.05454545454
but it gives me 388
some how in
no1V = goalxpV - currentxpV / 55; (i changed it to no1V which is a variable and i made no1.textNumber = to no1V)
the result of goalxpV - currentxpV isn't getting divided by 55

i dont know why, its confusing


*SUPER EDIT*
yay i found the problem!!! the problem was this
no1V =goalxpV - currentxpV / 55;

it should be no1V = (goalxpV - currentxpV) / 55; with the (,) to get the result!

i have to remeber Order of Operations =p

im happy now!

thx

This is kind of another problem, but i didnt want to make a new topic but heres my code

Code: Select all

if (findV==1)
{
    no1.textNumber = (goalxpV - currentxpV) / 55;
    no2.textNumber = (goalxpV - currentxpV) / 75;
    no3.textNumber =  0;
    no4.textNumber =  0;
    no5.textNumber =  0;
    no6.textNumber =  0;
    no7.textNumber =  0;
}

this is on a mouse down left event
so i added a tempory text number to see if "findV" equaled 1, and it did, and i did same for "goalxpV" and "currentxpV"
but still when i have a mouse down left on the actor that preforms this code, guess what happens to no1.textNumber-no7.textNumber? nothing happens

any obious mistakes?

I don't see any obvious problems with the code.
But why are you using 7 different actors to display variables?

[Zehper48]

the code is acctualy longer , finvV =1,2,3,4, all the way to 16.

for each number the no1-no7.textNumber equal somthing different... im rly confused, im just going to have to play around with it i guess,



****EDIT***** umm, i found out what was wrong but i feel rly stupid, i have a uhmm filled region in the way. dnt laugh, lol idont care if you laugh lol its pretty funny~
