Timer Help C# - Displaying it in a non Decimal format
Hi i have this script that will turn a directional light around to emulate a sun that is all working fine but i want to display the time on a gui label that i can do aswell the thing i cant do is to stop it from being a decimal when i run it it works fine, i want it to be a whole number like 1 instead of 1.11032046520 please tell me how i can fix this.
My Code-
//this is the cut version because the real one is very long
//this code includes the parts of the .cs i am having trouble with
// first the int declare which is the game time
int currentCycleTime (int);
// now for the OnGUI()
Void OnGUI()
{
//show the current time as a gui text
GUI.Label(new Rect(10,10,100,20), "Time:"+ currentCycleTime );
print (currentCycleTime);
}
Yes, downcasting it to an int will return you a whole number.
int n = 1.11032046520;
print (n); // 1
Pff, dear compiler ~_~ that's an obvious implicit cast.
Anyway, seems that he doesn't like it. Do an explicit cast:
int n = (int)yourDecimalNumber;
Sorry for the delay but I don't get notified of your edit.
You seem to be new to both program$$anonymous$$g and Unity. Please work on your program$$anonymous$$g skills before you jump into Unity, cause you won't go that far :(
First thing, it's void and not Void, make sure you correct that.
Then, about your timer thing, you said that you're using a float variable, and that you're getting it in a decimal way. I suggested that you downcast it to an int, via int n = (int)yourDecimalNum; - I see that you are mis-using this with your int currentCycleTime - you should stick to your float/decimal value, and then when you want it to appear as a whole number just downcast it there.
One compiler error is the (int) after your variable declaration.
int currentCycleTime (int); // remove the "(int)"
So as I said, just stick to your decimal number idea, and then:
GUI.Label(new Rect(10,10,100,20), "Time:"+ (int)currentCycleTime );
or perhaps you need the whole value somewhere else, store it in a variable:
// ...
int whole = (int)currentCycleTime;
GUI.Label(new Rect(10,10,100,20), "Time:"+ whole);
Let me know how it goes :)
the only error is CS0103: the name 'currentCycleTime' does not exist in the current context. i need the name in there because there is about 700 lines of code and they all need the name currentCycleTime to function
It depends on what you really need. print does a Debug.Log which prints stuff to your console. I don't think you even need it in this context cause you're already seeing the value from your gui. Just mess around with it man. Anyway, you could try:
int whole = (int)currentCycleTime; // ASSUMING that you rolled back to your decimal/float version
GUI.Whatever(stuff, stuff, stuff, whole);
print (whole);
// ANOTHER APPROACH (same effect):
GUI.Whatever(stuff, stuff, stuff, (int)currentCycleTime);
print ((int)currentCycleTime);
obviously the 2nd approach is redundant since you're casting twice.
@BradleyBeeke: Don't forget to give it the tick ;) - And if a comment I gave was useful to you, give it the thumb ;) - I appreciate it, it's your way of saying thanks :)
