I have my type declared like this

type stats
health as integer
maxhealth as integer
endtype

player as stats

player.health = 50
player.maxhealth = 100

when I try using this equation to get the % of the health bar to fill

box 1, 1, (player.health/player.maxhealth)*100, 5

the equation player.health/player.maxhealth*100 returns 0
this equation means 50/100*100 = 0 when 50/100*100 actually equals 50.

Can anyone answer what is wrong here?

by the way, the box works normally when I put in a normal integer

haha now I feel really dumb, I just realised health and maxhealth are integers so it can't return the decimal needed when it says player.health/player.maxhealth. It works now

(player.health*100)/player.maxhealth should work

The optomist's right, The pessimist's right.

actually, calcyman's method would be best as its all integer math and still gives you the same result, unless you need the percentage to the tenths precision.
