So is there any way to "smooth the edges" of the number, and if I got let's say 3.41, it'll be set in the counter as a 3? Amongst Strangers http://www.create-games.com/project.asp?id=1445

So if I have 3 counters - one is the number (10), one is the percentage (50) and one is the future result (5) - what I did was that the future result counter equals original_number * percent / 100 Basic math, right? But that was a simple case, say I have a number 2093 and I want 39% of it, I will get a number that's not whole, 816.27. The counter doesn't seem to like such numbers, so how do I make it accept the result as 816? Edited by the Author. Amongst Strangers http://www.create-games.com/project.asp?id=1445

I think the problem lies in the formula you're using - division is done before multiplication, so (value("percent") / 100) is always truncated to 0 before you multiply it. Use extra brackets: "(value("number") * value("percent")) / 100" - multiplying up first should solve it. http://www.davidn.co.nr - Games, music, living in America
