Hi

Update (added later): Found a wonderful action called "Round" which does exactly what I was inquiring about below, answering my own question.

I'm trying to figure out how to display a total using rounded numbers. Currently, the scripting math creates a total score which has several decimal places. I'd like to simply display it as a whole number rounded up or down based on rounding rules to the nearest whole number.

Since this is a Flex pub, there are some limitations to data storage, but basic scripts seem to work OK.

Can anyone suggest a script to round the total to a whole number?

Any help would be appreciated.

Kind Regards,

Hi Stephen

You can use math.floor in your script (e.g. score_total = math.floor) to round the figure down and avoid decimal points. Or maybe this is what you've discovered.

Thanks Roger.

I hadn't tried that, since I found a standard action called "round" in the programming tab>variables.

I can keep the scripting you've suggested in mind for when a situation may call for it.

Thanks again.

Kind Regards,

Hi Stephen,

You can try the Math.round() function. It will round up/down to the closest whole number.

Thanks Steve.

I appreciate the options, since each may be needed for a different set of challenges.

As usual, I'm impressed with Opus's versatility in achieving results.

Kind Regards,

Hi Stephen,

I agree how excellent Opus is! I am continually learning OpuScript and after reading Roger's reply, it prompted me to explore more about 'rounding', and I see these options...

Math.ceil() //rounds a number up
Math.floor() //rounds a number down
Math.round() //rounds a number to the nearest number

Next.round() //hehe, only kidding... your shout to buy the next round!
