I am making a game in TGF2 where I need to find an average.
I have the Event:
At Start of frame, set Global value Q to...
( h/(b+h))*t + ( b/(b+h))*u
Where h,b,t, and u all represent values of Counter Objects [e.g. value("CounterH")]
THE PROBLEM: If we let h=60 ; b=150 ; t=11 ; u=12
We get the expression ( 60/ (150+60) )*11 + ( 150/ (150+60) )*12 which SHOULD yield 11.71... Instead, of this number, or even the closest integer, it's setting Global Value Q to 0.
The problem is that TGF2 seems to interpret *individual fractions* as the closest integer. In my expression we start with ( 60 / 210 )*11 ; the fraction part is less than 1, so TGF2 reads it as 0. The other fraction part (150/210) is also less than 1. Therefore it becomes 0*11 + 0*12 = 0.
What should I do? Is there a special object perhaps that can store fractions as decimals?
Thanks in advance! I know it's a tricky one

Try multiplying some of the factors by 1.0, so MMF is forced to use decimal places. For example, when you use value H, put (Value H * 1.0).
I'm not quite positive whether you need to do it to all factors.

I really hope this gets fixed in MMF3. It's a massive pain in the proverbial...

This worked! Thanks OldManClayton and all others who responded.
