Simplifying the real values

[FallenAngel1999]

Hi! I currently work on floating texts to show information to the player. The problem is, when I display the real valuables that are something like 3.25, 4.17,... the system always add unnecessary 0s to them (for example 3.25000, 4.17000). I want to know the way to get rid of these 0s, so that when the value is displayed, it only shows 3.25 instead of 3.25000, for example)

I presume it uses the same number of digits after the decimal place each time, so you can just subtract off the last 4 characters of the string with a SubString() call:

• Set YourStr = String(number)
• Set YourStr = SubString(YourStr, 1, (Length of YourStr) - 4)

If it's not always 6 digits past the decimal you can do this: Multiply the numbers by 100, convert them to integers, then to strings, and then insert a period 2 characters from the end:

• Set YourReal = 1035.2985
• Set YourStr = String(Integer(YourReal x 100.00))
• Set Len = Length of YourStr
• Set YourStr = SubString(YourStr, 1, Len-2) + "." + SubString(YourStr, Len-1, Len)

This will fail if the absolute value of YourReal is less than 1.

Or one could just use the native designed to convert reals to strings with a specific precision like intended.

native R2SW takes real r,integer width,integer precision returns string

Is that new? Never seen it used before. Thanks!
