New user - I have searched for this all over and cant seem to find the solution anywhere.

I have a script that needs to convert an integer to a float.

The only way I have been able to do this is convert the integer to a string, then convert the string to a float.

e.g.


Seems a bit long winded, but works. is there a simpler way?

How about:

myFloat# = myInteger

You don't need any intermediary steps, you can just cast from one to the other.

Sometimes AppGameKit is too easy for it's own good

I dumbed down the example as the actual conversion was within a much larger complex setting, which definately didnt work - just returned zero all the time. I will try again with a new variable to do the conversion first, then apply that my larger equation. Thanks for reply!

This works only if 'myFloat' is first declared as a floating point variable.
