[Trigger] Real to Integer in loop

[Hemlock]

I bumped into something in the following trigger.

• microTimer
  • Events
    • Time - Every 1.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 10, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set microTimer = (microTimer + 0.10)
        • Game - Display to (All players) the text: (Micro Timer = + (String(microTimer)))
        • Game - Display to (All players) the text: (Timer = + (String((Integer((microTimer x 10.00))))))

What happens is that the "Timer"(3 action line) which translates the real number into a workable integer glitches at the begin of the loop.
When it hits the loop for the 3rd time, the integer remains 2. (it glitches at 4th time when I use 0.01 and multiply it by 100).

perhaps anyone can explain why this behaves in the fashion it does.

Try using a a repeat time:

• Countdown Timer - Start YourTimer as a Repeating timer that will expire in 1.00 seconds

Your Trigger

• Events
  • Time - YourTimer expires

<<< EDIT >>>

I tried the trigger you posted and is working fine for me. I don't know what is your problem.

Well it works, yes. however when the real number says 0.30 the integer returns 2, which is supposed to be 3.

Well, I noticed something on the 30 or more second the counter begins to bug.

For example, I get the result 56.999 and 67.999. I think this is better done as JASS because GUI uses many function calls which may not give accurate results especially when dealing with loops.

You can see why if you convert the trigger to JASS. The integer A increases at the end of the loop in GUI - after the values are displayed.

Well this has nothing to do with the loop (thats a different variable), I am talking about the conversion from real to integer that bugs, and I can't seem to find out why (it's not a vital problem, just something I noticed).

Sorry, i misread and thought you were displaying integer A value.
Starquizer is partially right, the problem is that you aren't adding exactly 0.10 (when you don't type the other decimals, the number isn't really accurate).
Try converting the trigger to JASS and instead of 0.10, type 0.100000 or so and it should work properly.
