well, as long as i know the calculation works, the alias name seem to be the problem (im putting that down to a conflicting name in your script)

ok, yea, sorry for pissing you off. but my way is right.

lets look at this from another angle.

why do you think the alias name should be prefixed with vcmp.  ?

can you check you have no other alias names with SetWholeNumber for me.

PS. your way is right too, btw.

Im just interested why its returning 8 when a value of 4.5 is passed to it. as its only returning $celi or $floor of 4.5

no offense intended Skirmant, but your an idiot!


the alias name is irreverent, as long as you don't have any conflicting names,

unless you apply the -l switch which stands for "local alias".

it makes NO difference to the result if the alias is vcmp.blah or just blah

oh mate, thats bad.

you cannot lead people to believe that you must have vcmp. as part of the alias name.

Do you know how silly that sounds ?

kind regards

Accepted Solution:


alias SetWholeNumber !return $iif($gettok($1,2,46) >= 5,$ceil($1),$floor($1))


ok, your talking utter rubbish now. you've wasted a whole thread when the example i gave you worked perfectly fine. (which has now probably confused other people)

i would quite like to know how on earth your getting it to return 8.

its only returning either $celi or $floor of your passed parameter (in this case 4.6)

PS, would other people check this works:

alias SetWholeNumber !return $iif($gettok($1,2,46) >= 5,$ceil($1),$floor($1))

//echo -a $SetWholeNumber(4.6) - should return 5

//echo -a $SetWholeNumber(4.2) - should return 4

alias SetWholeNumber !return $iif($gettok($1,2,46) >= 5,$ceil($1),$floor($1))

care to explain how that would ever return 8 if passed the value 4.6 ?

its using $gettok to check if the value has a remainder 5 or over

if $true return the next highest integer. $celi

if $false the next lowest integer. $floor

returns 5 for me, just like it should do.

not sure why its retunging 8 for you, make your own.


you know what you need to do now,
use
$celi and $floor read the help manual, come on, its basic maths

come on, this is basic maths

that alias i gave you works perfectly fine.


alias SetWholeNumber !return $iif($gettok($1,2,46) >= 5,$ceil($1),$floor($1))

always returns 8 ?

what the heck are you typing ?

type //echo -a $SetWholeNumber(4.2)

//echo -a $SetWholeNumber(4.6)

or you on drugs by any chance ?

You want to "round to next nearest whole number"

You need to create your own procedure to do the following;

$ceil(N) -  Returns N rounded to the next highest integer.

$floor(N) - Returns N rounded to the next lowest integer.


I did it for you :-)


alias SetWholeNumber !return $iif($gettok($1,2,46) >= 5,$ceil($1),$floor($1))

Type //echo -a $SetWholeNumber(4.6) and //echo -a $SetWholeNumber(4.2)

ok, thankyou

oh gosh, srry. i didn't realize. would you explain why we cant add objects, or point me to a thread which does explain.

Thankyou

Getting better, but still hackers about!

I am trying to make a stunt script like my one in samp but i feel rather limited when trying in vcmp

would you allow us to insert objects like ramps etc please.

Thankyou
