I'm making a game and i've encountered a problem. I have one of those horizontal counters to count the player's health points. I set its max value to 1000, but how do i make it so if the player's max health is 123 (for example), the max value of the counter is 123 as well ?

Set the counter's maximum to 100 and use this equation:
Life / Max Life * 100

Oh yeah, the % equation. That makes a lot of sense. The problem is, it doesn't work, and that defies all logic. Let's say the hero's got 15 HP and the max value for HP is 25 =
15/25*100 = 60%
=
o Always
- Set counter to value("life")/value("maxlife")*100
...but the counter just sets itself at 0 and I don't understand that

You can change the maximum and minimum values at runtime in MMF.

The problem is that Tgf can't deal with decimals.
5/30*100=0,16666666666666666666666666666667
Tgf makes 0,16666666666666666666666666666667 become just 0, and when so what i'm really doing, is this:
0,16666666666666666666666666666667 x 100...
i'm guessing i just have to use one of the math extensions

multiply all of the numbers by something like 1000. then divide by 1000 when you're done. that way you can retain a few decimal places

oh and one more thing if you wind up with too many decimal places put the entire equation in parenthesis and put int in front of it like this
Int( 15 * 1.0 / 25 * 100 )

Change the percentage equation to
Life * 100 / Max Life
and you shouldn't have problems.
