Numberwheel: How can I remove scripting rounding errors?

[Fidcal]

I've got the number wheel combination lock working in-game and retrieving and processing the values in script except I'm getting rounding errors. Is it possible in Doom3 scripting to round up a float to a whole number to compare it with the combination numbers? Otherwise I guess I could compare with eg, > 7.9 AND < 8.1 which is a bit messy.

OK, forget it. Within minutes of posting I found the answer of course. Although there is no int type there is an int function to round to a whole number num1 = int((num1 + 0.5)); [edited]

Is there a tut somewhere on how to setup the number wheel in DarkRadiant?

yeah I was going to suggest this when i read the thread name. I think I remember this being known as static casting from my computer science student days.

well theres 10 numbers on a wheel, and 360 degree's in a circle, so you press the up button turns wheel 36 degrees one way, and down button turns wheel 36 degrees other way, add or minus number to a varible to wheel one, where value goes no higher than 9 or less than 0, then you do that four times, and you then check when each wheel is in correct position you unlock something.

yer I can devide 360 whit 10 too but what I am looking for is what for triggers to use and how to link it all up I might be abel to figur all this out my selv with trail and error over 3-4 days but I would rather stand on the shoulders of other that knows how to do it

Nielsen74: Sorry missed your earlier post. The script is working but there is a bug. As soon as I fix it I will upload it.

Nielsen74: OK, I've now uploaded a scripted prefab. See the new thread in this forum. Let me know if any problems.
