float to int in script?

by Sabrecyd · in Torque Game Engine · 11/13/2002 (10:47 am) · 8 replies

Anyone know how to convert a float to an integer in the script? I'm trying to display some HUD stuff and displaying a float value is annoying. I did try using the console function mAbs() but that didn't seem to do anything.

Thanks,

echo(floor(%float));

floor? Is that a function? That gives me an unknown function warning.

mFloor rounds down
mCeil rounds up

ie. mFloor(3.2) = 4
mCeil(3.7) = 3

Perfect! Thanks guys. I saw those two functions in the TGE Console Commands doc and didn't try them. I guess I was looking for a abs or int type function. This works great though. Thanks again.

abs doesn't have anything to do with rounding to an int.

Yeah, I don't know what I was thinking about. I don't have any negative values even being used.

Where did you find this TGE Console Commands document? I've been trying to find something that explains the console functions of torque. Thanks in advance.
