Truncate or round float resolution?

oddson · 1 Dec 2005

To round for display use the Format component.

This thread will show you how.

[It starts with me asking for this and ends with Malc saying it's done and how to use it.]

Perfect.

Thanks.

dang, I didn't even know that component existed.

There's only 271 primitives. You don't know them all? 😉

According to the docs there are 11. Hmm. 😈

skOre · 2 Dec 2005

Heh, we could start a 271/5 part series - "Better know your primitives", where everybody would share what he found out about the primitives...

I think this is a great idea and I will start right now 🙂

Can they have their own directory? (or whatever it's called in blog land).

edit - yeah OK a separate forum, then what's the whole thing called?

skOre · 2 Dec 2005

Not sure what you mean O_o you mean a seperate forum ?

Right now we have "General, Graphics, Sound, Examples". He wants a new forum, prob named "Docs", or "Tutorials" or something... but why not use the wiki for that, once it gets fixed?

skOre · 3 Dec 2005

well, a because its not fixed 😉 and b because the forum is much more frequented atm and thus a better solution if you want to get feedback/info from other users.

Yet a tutorials forum might be neat.

Thinking about it, tutorials are already in General, Audio, Graphics. Might be better that a Docs forum be made... then again, only the orginal author can edit the orginal post, then we'll end up with a ton of outdated posts (since things in SM change so much)... which is way a WiKi is better; anyone can update them 😉

skOre · 3 Dec 2005

yeah, wiki will be a way to go for my tutorials, yet for now, I think its nice to have them in the forum. (Newbs will find them quicker this way as well.)

additionally it would be great, if the WIKI would allow uploading osm files and images. Then everything would be at it's place.

For example if I need to display say, 0.3335523678 as 0.33

For general use theres a simple way to get 0.3335523678 as 0.33. What you need to do is send the float value into a Float Multiply with a value of 100 you then send this through a Int data type, now use a float divide with a value of 100, this will have rounded the value. You can then just make a simple custom module if you need this for something else.
