Index attribute with decimals?

GuaveMedia

Hey,

I have an attribute that has to go up (from zero) to 200 when the scene starts.
I used an index because I do not want it to be negative and also have decimals. But
why does interpolate do it in decimals? I just have this:

After 0.1sec,
interpolate speed to 200
duration 0.5

I want it to go up like this but without decimals...thanks for support

You need to use a REAL attribute for decimal places

I want it WITHOUT decimals! That was my question *gg*

I am using an index attribute with interpolate but still get decimals.

just put the function Floor (or ceil) in the Display Text expression … ex: Text: floor(game.speed)

floor function rounds a decimal# down to a whole number … as a floor of a room is down
ceil function rounds a decimal# up to a whole number … as the ceiling of a room is up

all number attributes can be manipulated by the math operants/functions … 
all but real-type round-off the number when math operation is done.

integer type attributes store whole numbers; positive or negative
index type attributes store whole numbers; positive
real type attributes store whole or decimal numbers; positive or negative

in many programs you can only use integer-type and add code for the type of storage you want.
In GS, you define the # attribute, and chose the type of storage you want when you create it …
this most often simplifies coding and saves confusion for the new developer.

@AIGames … you tried something new and added to your skills!

learning is such fun … once we forbid ourself to be overwhelmed by frustration!
