i have this code
index_pic = (sprite_ammount * (-currentPosition));
but get not the result i expected.
example
index_pic = 10 * (-7);
if i type this in my calculator i get = 3
if this code is executed in AGS i get = -30
how must this statement look like, to get the result i need?
Uhmm.... I'm seriously confused. Shouldn't it be -70?
Are you sure you dont type in "10 + (-7)" on your calculator? :)
I don't have a clue about what may be wrong with AGS , however. Because, as NsMn said, it must be -70.
i dunno if -variablename works.
you might want to try -1 * variablename

It must... I think I've used that couple of times.
Minus variable name does work but it gets weird with the order of operations when a multiply comes just before it.
variable1 * -variable2
Will totally flake out, so do this instead:
-variable2 * variable1
Oops, or just read Calin's reply that I somehow missed.
thx, it works now. :)
