Rounding to the nearest int as a Result of a Function?
Hello, I a have a problem with a small Health Regeneration. The part that I'm having problems with works on the following variables:
//This will be set and equal to InitialHealth (but modified)
var health : float;
//Amount of Health added to Regenarte (determines the regeneration speed)
var regenSpeed : float = 0.5;
//Time till Regeneration
var TimeToRegenerate : int = 10;
//The timer to get the whole thing to restart
private var regenTimer : float = 0.0;
And this is the function for the regeneration: function Regenerate ()
function Regenerate ()
{
//And the player has lost some Health
if(health < InitialHealth)
{
//If the timer is bigger then the Time to Regenerate,
//Start with the Regeneration process
if(regenTimer < TimeToRegenerate)
{
//Start counting up to surpass the Time to Regernate
regenTimer += Time.deltaTime;
}
else
{
//Regenerate
health += regenSpeed;
}
}
else
{
//Reset the Timer so you can Regenerate next time the
//Player looses Health
regenTimer = 0.0;
}
}
This will give me a Decimal, but is it possible to round the result of health after this function takes place/while it takes place so that the health float is always equal to the nearest int?

parseInt( floatValue );
Edit :
Here is a little demo script to show what each command does. Create a new scene, create an empty gameObject and attach the below script.
Hit Play.
Now in the Inspector, change the value of myFloat. Watch the output in each GUI Box.
Mathf.FloorToInt : Returns the largest integer smaller to or equal to float.
Mathf.CeilToInt : Returns the smallest integer greater to or equal to float.
Mathf.RoundToInt : Returns float rounded to the nearest integer.
All of the work is done in Update, I added the GUI to give a visual display instead of debug logging an output. So this is how to use one of the commands :
myFloatFloor = Mathf.FloorToInt( myFloat );
now the demo script :
#pragma strict
var myFloat : float = 0.0;
private var myFloatFloor : float = 0.0;
private var myFloatCeiling : float = 0.0;
private var myFloatRound : float = 0.0;
function Update()
{
// Floor to Int
myFloatFloor = Mathf.FloorToInt( myFloat );
// Ceiling to Int
myFloatCeiling = Mathf.CeilToInt( myFloat );
// Round to Int
myFloatRound = Mathf.RoundToInt( myFloat );
}
function OnGUI()
{
// Floor to Int
GUI.Box( Rect( 10, 10, 100, 30 ), "Floor to Int" );
GUI.Box( Rect( 10, 45, 100, 30 ), "" + myFloatFloor.ToString() );
// Ceiling to Int
GUI.Box( Rect( ( Screen.width * 0.5 ) - 50, 10, 100, 30 ), "Ceiling to Int" );
GUI.Box( Rect( ( Screen.width * 0.5 ) - 50, 45, 100, 30 ), "" + myFloatCeiling.ToString() );
// Round to Int
GUI.Box( Rect( Screen.width - 110, 10, 100, 30 ), "Round to Int" );
GUI.Box( Rect( Screen.width - 110, 45, 100, 30 ), "" + myFloatRound.ToString() );
}
I have looked at these but I have no real experience with $$anonymous$$athf...can you tell me how I would have to apply them on this script for example or what type of function I would need to add?
I have updated the answer with some more information and a demo script. Play around with it, and you should see how each command modifies the float.
Okay thanks, but it looks like this does not work for this example as the float variable "health" is not an actual value and merely becomes "Initial Health" on startup. I guess i'll just have to think of an alternative solution.
Your comment makes no sense. the float variable "health" is not an actual value : what does this even mean?
The question was : This will give me a Decimal, but is it possible to round the result of health after this function takes place/while it takes place so that the health float is always equal to the nearest int?
round the result of health = $$anonymous$$athf.FloorToInt( the result of health );
Hmmm...well this doesn't work for me. Sorry for the late reply I did not see that you commented. Anyway, whatever I try, it does not work...this is how I did it (please be sure to point out any mistakes I made):
I added the Following Variable
//This is used to Round "health"
private var healthRound : float;
I tried to make Health Equal to Health (I think this is where the mistake lies)
function Update ()
//Set that healthRound always equals health
healthRound = health;
And then I added the line of Code that I was supposed to add into the update function
healthRound = $$anonymous$$athf.RoundToInt( health );
It would be awesome if you could help me...sorry, I am still learning how to program.
