SOLVED: Using a Float variable reminder

[Slasher]

Hi,

I have not used variable Float in a long long time and need reminding...

I want to be able to keep a track of weight... I have made WeightAdded Float variable and set it to 0.00.

You place coins on a scale. Each time you add a coin the scales show it's weight via a label.

As you add coins the weight increase.

Do I, as like an int variable adjust weight by:

Code: ags

WeightAdded +=1.2  // for exmple.

A label will keep track of the total weight..

Code: ags

TotalWeight.Text=(String.Format("%d",WeightAdded));

Am I on the right track?

Cheers

You need to use "%f" when printing floats.

Also, there is a way to control how many digits after "." you want printed, using format like "%.2f" - prints 2 digits after point max.

Cheers Crimson..

Got the 'cannot change int to float'... Text is not a public member of Float..



EDIT: i think I forget to add the correct Label.. trying...

Code: ags

LWEIGHT.Text=(String.Format("%.2f",WeightAdded));  //seems to work ok

Cheers Crimson
