[Trigger] Changing sign of variable.

[RinaDeithee]

I use this trigger currently to get a negative number taken from the player

• Player - Add ((Integer(Iron_Ingot)) - (Integer((Iron_Ingot x 2.00)))) to (Owner of (Buying unit)).Current gold

I have tried using the below trigger, but that doesn't work.

• Player - Add (Sign((Integer(Iron_Ingot)))) to (Owner of (Buying unit)).Current gold

I wanted to know if there's an easier way to change the sign of the variable "iron ingot"?

The Sign() function only returns -1 for negative number and 1 for positive number.
What you can do is simply multiply the value by -1 to make it negative.

• Player - Add (-1 x value) to Player 1 (Red).Current gold

Honestly, this makes a lot of sense and I hate my self for not thinking of this at first.

Thanks a bunch!
