Decimal Points

[robot-dude]

Ok, i've been wondering about this for a while, i know its probably possible in jass, however i don't have the time to start learning jass and working with it.

So to quickly jump to the question, is it possible in GUI, to multiply a Hero's attribute by eg; "1.6" without having to do this:

• Hero - Modify Strength of Characters[1]: Set to (((Strength of Characters[1] (Exclude bonuses)) / 5) x 8)

Because i know Integers round decimals to the closes digit, so is there any chance some how to get around this without doing the trigger i've listed above, or using jass ?

Thanks in advance,

It only takes integers. So yeah, the only way is by using fractions.

Wrong, they always round down due to the way computers work, or atleast they should. Floating point calculations are totally different from iteger. Integer is always exact whereas floating point (reals) only an approximation of a number.

The fraction method is probably the best (not what you have done there as that is inaccurate). Basically multiply the value by 8 and then divide by 5 (not what you did in the above trigger).

• Hero - Modify Strength of Characters[1]: Set to (((Strength of Characters[1] (Exclude bonuses)) * 8) / 5)

Do note that the above will always round down due to what I mentioned eariler.
