Problem with Keyboard imput...

sebmacfly

Hi,

I'm having trouble with the Keyboard input behavior...
When i want to enter en number > 100000, the attribute changed is bad...
When i enter a number < 100000, all is ok...

Any idea?

Thanks

is the Attribute you are changing Text type ? or numerical Type ?

if what is input is not in the numericalValue format for the attribute Type it will not process nor display
think of it this way: to the computer 100,000 is not a numberValue … it is a textString for a number

Well *I* laughed!

what he's referring to i believe is when you type in 1000000 for example it'll turn into 10-e6(when stored) .. and if you call out that attribute to display the value... it's not 1000000

if i remember correctly someone from GS said it's Lua problem, and it'll be fixed when they start to use native code.

@ultima … you explained that so nicely!

but, @semacfly reference > 100,000 and > 100000; 900000 and 90000 do display properly 8-|

@quantumsheep … well thankfully KB imp isn't utterly messed-up … then we would have to deal with cows as well as imps!

thanks guys for the answer...

@Ultima :
I know that the display is 1e+09 (for exemple...), that's why i'm using floor function to display all my number correctly.
When i use the floor function, i sse that the number entered using Keyboard input behavior is not correct. And when i re-enter in the keyboard, the last number entered is not the same then before... strange

@quantumsheep :
LoL you're taking fun of me lol sorry for the eror *input*

@MotherHoose:
The attribute type is "real"

I entered 5,123,456,789 (without the comas) in the text input,
Display text with the floor function (for all the 9 numbers) = 5,123,457,000
Display text for the attribute in the keyboard input (without any floor function) : 5.12346e+09

I'm a little lost on this issue

PS : I know that i'm using correctly the floor function, because in my other game all is OK (but i never used the keyboard input)

@sebmacfly … we would never take/make fun of you!… but, we will take/make fun with you!
a laugh is nice, especially when peoples is talking math! So your typo helped us enjoy your post!

looks like the DisplayText is treating the realAttribute as type and not content
darn computer wants to do things its way and pay no attention to how you want things!
and so set in its way, wont change anything to the format you ask for!

if you are lost, imagine where those of us who never work with higher math functions are … :-&

No way... i'm using numbers like 9.000.000.000 and i think that's too much...
Any Chef or Sous-Chef to confirm that?

Thanks

I too am using numbers into the billions, but I cannot get them to display properly. It's quite frustrating.
