Weird result when using the Cosine function

edited November -1 in Working with GS (Mac)
In my app, I have a trignometry calculator feature. It all works fine Until I use the cosine button. The sine and tangent buttons work fine but the cosine button just turns the final number to 1 and if I do it agian to 0.9somethingsomething and when I press it again nothing happens. I quadrople checked the "code" and even deleted the actor and made a new one! IDK is it the function or what?

    One possible idea... check the attribute value with the new GameSalad debugger. The data displayed in a GameSalad game might be different than what's actually stored.

    what do the button do?

    and the number gets smaller when the degrees are higher(in 0 to 90)

    one actor displays attribute "Trig Entry" When the button is pressed for cosine, it changes "trig entry" to cos(trig entry) I double checked everything!

    There is no problem with the cosine function so your project has probably just got an error or a scrambled actor/behaviour somewhere.

    Here is a video of my project! can someone please spot the error!

    its 100% right nothing is wrong with the functions ..its just when you hit sine you are changing the variable and then when you hit the next button you are taking the sin, tan or cos of the changed variable which is why you're numbers aren't appearing as they "should"

    Try googling :cosine of 0.999848
    when i did that I in GS i got 0.999848
    The calculator on google says 0.540430203

    ok i would like to mention I'm a materials engineer.

    Im telling you make an attribute that resets the initial value or make a reset button.

    Oh and Google is wrong :)

    Great Idea!
    I'll see if that works!

    no prob :)

    Also the google calculator is in radians ..try cos 3.14 (pi)
