LSL Operators Division Problem?

[Killian Jayaram 0]

I am trying to figure out a hit system based on enemy strength with user programmable strength and my code looks a little something like this...

integer my_health = 100; // TAKES 10 HITS TO KILL ME IF NUMBER IS 100

integer health = 100;

take_hit(integer strength){
integer hit_math = (strength /my_health) * 100;
health = health - hit_math;
}

default{

touch_end(integer num){
take_hit(10);
}

}

but for some reason "hit_math" keeps returning 0.

Now maybe I have not had enough coffee yet but the math should work ( (10/100) * 100 = 10 ), what am I doing wrong?

Multiply first and then divide, otherwise the division might result in too small a result. As you are using integers, if the result is less than 1 no amount of subsequent multiplication is ever going to raise it above zero.

Or change them to floats for the operation and then back to integer

Yeah thanks setting them to floats worked
