Floating Rounded numbers,. ?

[jph_wacheski]

Not sure if I'm just not up on my terminology or what,. but why can I not figure out how to set a value from a ZExpresion for a "Float" ?

i.e;

Timer.RepeatCount=7;

when I try this i get an err response "Only float type properties can be used:"

also; while I am here, what is the best way to round values to whole numbers ? for when I would like to get a random whole number without all the messy decimal places,. round(random(4,2) ) => 2,3,4,5,6 ???

Thnks

Timer.RepeatCount=7;

RepeatCount is of type "integer" and cannot be set from expressions. This is a limitation of the current script engine unfortunately.

//here is what I would do
Temp1=random(4,2);
Temp1-=frac(Temp1);

I'm busy fixing the decimal rounding problem when saving zgeproj-files, expect an ZGE update shortly.

Dang, you so smart ! that will work,. Thanks

Ok, I see about the repeatCount, I can just use a condition to limit it and leave the repeat count at -1,. np.
