[Trigger] wont sell!

[-lanaya-]

ok,
i've made a sell trigger

• SellTower
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Sell Tower
    • ((Casting unit) is A structure) Equal to True
  • Actions
    • Player - Add ((Point-value of (Casting unit)) x (3 / 4)) to (Owner of (Casting unit)) Current gold
    • Unit - Remove (Casting unit) from the game

When i cast Sell Tower
it doesnt give any gold back
but it removes the tower though.
can anyone help?

Thy this instead of GUI arifmetic
Put it incustom script instead of the GUI line in yopur trigger that adds gold.

call AdjustPlayerStateBJ( (3*GetUnitPointValue(GetTriggerUnit()))/4, GetOwningPlayer(GetTriggerUnit()), PLAYER_STATE_RESOURCE_GOLD )

woo
works now
thx

Just to clarify, it wouldn't give gold because GUI will ignore the decimal part of (3/4), which would become 0. So, any number multiplied by 0...

This statement is true, but not true.
The problem is not in GUI.
In Jass 3/4 will nullified too if you use integers.

But, anyway, it's much more comfortable to use Jass arifmetic.

It's much more comfortable to use jass then GUI, but many user like GUI and they should learn it and improve their skills

Its with PCs in general. All computers store is an array of bits which can be looked as as booleans. These make up numbers. With whole numbers (integers), it will always round down. In that case to 0. That is for use with the modul function or what ever it is called which returns the remainer of an integer division opperation. With reals (floating points) computers are able to represent numbers more accuratly (to so many significant figures). Thus can preform a more accurate division closer to an actual fraction. Thus by preforming a floating point calculation, the results would be more like you were after. However as they are more complex it uses more system recources to preform a floating point opperation but still computers can do millions of them per second.
