llGetPrimitiveParams question

[Misy Pera]

Hi Everyone!  

 

Okay... so I always run into problems when I use llGetPrimitiveParams and of course this time is no exception.

 

I want to make my script check to see if the glow is one thing or anouther and then do whatever but if only fires Glow2 and never Glow1 so I know I have this wrong.  Thanks!

 timer()
  {
    float glowon =  Intensity*2;
    list GL  = llGetPrimitiveParams([PRIM_GLOW, 1]);
    integer glow = llList2Integer(GL, 0);
 if (glow == (integer)glowon)
    {  
       Glow1();
    }
    else
    {  
       Glow2();
      }
    }

casting a float to an integer will round it?   0.20 becomes 0

mebbe change your integers to floats?

float glow = llList2Float(GL, 0);

 if (glow == glowon)

Xijia is right.  Glow is a floating point number between 0.0 and 1.0.  When you make it an integer, it will always round down to zero.  The way to solve this one is to multiply by 10 (or maybe 100) and then make it an integer.

integer BigGlow = (integer)(10.0*glow);if (BigGlow >= 30){   Glow1();}else{    Glow2();}

I played around a little and that worked!!!!!!  Thank you both.  I remeber reading that, but it's the first time I've ever run into it.
