Title: Negative ABS
Post by: Mupp on December 03, 2019, 09:22:55 AM

No really required but it would be nice to have a checkbox in the ABS actions to set the value to negative. Saves the work of adding one whole extra action to the state.  ;D

And having the option to choose which variable to save the result in would be nice.

Hi,

Please heck out FloatAbsAdvanced on the ecosystem, it will give you a multiplier, set to to -1, and done.

 the action also got the advanced treatment where you can select when to execute, ( update, late, fixed).

 Let me know if it works for you.

Bye,

 Jean

I actually did a search for ABS and negative but I found nothing. It's really easy to not find what you are looking for unless you type it exactly so I missed it. Thanks.

Hi,

 yes, I agree... there is not real other way then text based search, and so you can only search by text inside the script itself.  I improved the search by adding keywords in the script comments, abs should work.

search for FloatAbsAdvanced otherwise to be sure.


Bye,
