[Trigger] Interest trigger in a TD

[Renka]

Since I got such great advice last time I came on here I figured I might as well do it again.

This time I am working on a TD map, and I want an Interest system (pretty much like the one in Element TD). I've run into some problems though.

Since I am dealing with percentages (2.5% or 5%, I haven't decided yet) I get decimal numbers, but Warcraft rounds all of these down which is a problem. I've been looking for a way to assure that it rounds all the numbers up, but I've had little success.

Also, it'd be great if I could get the number apear over the head of the builder like a bounty (as we've all seen in said Element TD), but predictably I've had even more troubles with this detail.

Explain what you want for the people who DIDN'T play Element TD ?

I played Element TD and didnt get what he is talking about

First of, interest. You get a certain percentage of your current gold as a bonus every X coupld of seconds.

The second thing is having the interest represented visually by the same bounty text you get when you kill creeps (+X in yellow over the builder in this case).

This is for 3 levels of interest and 3 players and it gives interest every 60 sec.
