Math problem [SOLVED]

[Grendal]

I am using a hit-bar made from an elongated cube primitive over my enemy.

My problem is this: Unity 3d objects only have a scale value and so you can't simply set length to 100 to match your hitpoints and reduce by variable subtract like you can in 2d. So I set my scale to 1 which looks about right and reduce it in float increments to 0.0 and it works great. However, my damage and hitpoints are still based on 100s system 0-100. I can't seem to wrap my math-poor brain around how to convert say 57 incoming damage into .057 float value using Playmaker actions.

Hi,

 for this, you can use floatRemap action, you can find it on the Ecosystem.

so you have a scale from 0 to 100 and you can remap that to range from 0 to 1 if you want. and so 57 will become 0.57

in your case, simply dividing by 100 would work too.

Bye,

It works when I divide by 1000  (ie. 37/1000 = .037).
The issue with this is it creates a negative value in debug view.. not sure why since it works fine on my calculator.



EDIT:
Ok.. I must have been really tired last night. Got up today and figured it out pretty quick. It was 100.. duh and I was way over thinking my process. I was trying to subtract my damage value from my scale and then scaling.. when all I needed to do was grab the damage value and divide its value by 100 and then simply display as the new scale... /shrug
It works as intended now!
