algorithms

So I want this script to use divine fury when my stamina is less then 40%...

Code: [Select]

set stamPercMod 40
set stamPerc ( ( #MAXSTAM / 100 ) * %stamPercMod )

if #STAMINA < %stamPerc
   gosub dFury

sub dFury
   event macro 15 205
   wait 5
return
I have 153 stamina, and following that algorithm, %stamPerc should be set to 61.2, so it should use divine fury at around 61 stamina, however instead it does it at 40 stamina. Is this an integer issue?

EUO doesn't play with decimals very nicely. Better to just adjust everything up a couple of places.

[dxrom]

Is there any way I can have the output read as REAL, so it reads the number without the decimal?

I mean, I could adjust it to work with my stats and come out without a decimal, but then I would have to do that with every chr I play on that I use this with, and anyone who uses it would have to do the same thing.

Wouldn't you want to do it this way?

( #maxStam * %stamPercMod ) / 100

153 * 40 = 6120 / 100 = 61.2

[dxrom]

Wouldn't you want to do it this way?

( #maxStam * %stamPercMod ) / 100

153 * 40 = 6120 / 100 = 61.2

It comes out the same though.

153 / 100 = 1.53 * 40 = 61.2

Your solution worked, Cerveza!
...but why? -.-
Thank you

[Cerveza]

The .2 is probably being ignored, and your not calculating in decimals doing it this way. EUO doesn't work well with decimals, oh I mentioned that

[dxrom]

BUT! ...but!
Same exact output regardless of the algorithm used, however for mine it... i don't understand... -.-
euo is stupid somtimes.

Here's what happened:

In your method you do:
153/100 = 1.53
Since EUO doesn't like decimals, it sees 1

You then do:
1* 40 = 40

TADA! You have your result (As EUO sees it)


In Cerv's method, you do:
153*40 = 6120 (No decimals, so EUO likes it and sees 6120)

You then do:
6120/100=61.2 (EUO doesn't like decimals so it sees 61)

TADA! You have your result! (As EUO sees it)



Order of Operations is merely a vaguely followed idea that is not well manifested in EUO! LOL!

[dxrom]

This makes sense...

w00t, thank you guys!

This was something I was workin on for my sampire assistant script (LAME). I figured that instead of having it dfury at a static amount of stamina, percent base would be better.

Since swing is calculated at exact stamina values (30,60,90....) static value is better
