Interpolating and integer

3absh

I tried interpolate with an integer attribute and using "display text" I observed the increase was with decimals which is kind of strange since integers aren't supposed to have decimals.
Is there a way I can use the interpolate behavior to increase the value of an attribute without going through the decimals
Meaning increasing by 1
(I'm trying to avoid timers)

In your Display Text use the Floor Function. So if your Attribute was called Number you would:

Display Text: Floor(Number)

Then you will only see integers display.

Integers, real numbers, index numbers (and so on) are descriptions of the 'boxes' in which values are stored - once a number is out of its 'box' it doesn't know that it's meant to be an Integer or a 'real', it's simply a number.

Or to put it another way, there aren't two different 7's in maths, an integer 7 and a real 7, for example if you have a real attribute with a value of 7 and an integer with a value of 7 and you add these two values together (for example in a display text behaviour / display attribute A + attribute B ) then you will get 14, but that 14 is not a weird sort of 14 with a mix of real and integer numbers, it's simply 14.

tl;dr: integer/real (etc) describes the process of storing values, not the values themselves.
