[Solved] Mod below 1

[Hemlock]

Quick question, I was just trying something out something mathematical in the editor, however I bumped into something.

Example:
0.100 mod 0.100

Normally this would result in 0.000 however according to the editor it returns me 0.100. Anyone experience the same thing, if so does anyone know why?

cheers

Ok, ModuloReal does this:

dividend - I2R(R2I(dividend / divisor)) * divisor
0.1 - I2R(R2I(0.1/0.1)) * 0.1
0.1 - 1 * 0.1
0.1 - 0.1
0

I don't think anything's wrong with ModuloReal or ModuloInteger

Could you post the trigger you're using? :O

Divisor is set in another trigger that also calls the trigger in question.

• Set _timerInterval = 0.10
• Set _timerMax = 5.00
• Trigger - Turn on Timer <gen>

The Trigger looks like this:

• Timer
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.01 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • _timerTracker Less than _timerMax
      • Then - Actions
        • If (_timerTracker Equal to 0.00) then do (Set _timerActive = True) else do (Do nothing)
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • _timerPaused Equal to False
          • Then - Actions
            • Set _timerTracker = (_timerTracker + 0.01)
            • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
              • If - Conditions
                • (_timerInterval mod _timerTracker) Equal to _timerInterval
              • Then - Actions
                • Game - Display to (All players) the text: (Timer = + (String(_timerTracker)))
              • Else - Actions
          • Else - Actions
      • Else - Actions
        • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)
        • -------- Reset settings --------
        • Set _timerTracker = 0.00
        • Set _timerActive = False

The modulo opperator makes no sense in real based calculations. How can an opperator which returns the remainder left from integer division be applied to real numbers where there is no remainder from division?

You have 2 approaches to this problem.
1. Write your own function that takes 2 reals and returns a real that meets your requirements.
2. Change your input into integers which do comply with the behaviour of the modulus opperation.

In your case I think 2 is the more sensible approach. I think the behaviour you want will be obtained by multiplying both input reals to whole numbers, performing the modulus and then dividing them back into reals by dividing by the multiple (transform scale twice).

Well the reason I used modulo on decimal numbers in the first place cause I was allowed to use it with a real number (thinking it would be a modf(or something similar function)) but I couldn't come to a conclusion as to why it would result 0.100 (the same number as the divisor). Anyway I did a simple work around the condition, which looks like this:

• ((Integer((_timerTracker x 100.00))) mod (Integer((_timerInterval x 100.00)))) Equal to 0

Cheers for the extra info
