Hi,

How would we change a float from "0.50" to "50"?
We need a function the moves the decimal.
We also need a function that trims everything after "50".
Let us know, thanks!

It's for a loading now screen...

f as float
f= 0.5
i as integer
i = f*100
print (i)

uhm multiply it by 100?
there are a couple ways to trim the decimals; round is the normal method but i'm not sure AppGameKit has a built in round that allows you to set to which decimal place so i usually just convert to string and back
i.e.
f# = 0.56
f$ = str(f#,1)
as it's for a progress bar you can probably stop there but if you want to convert it back to float you do
f# = ValFloat(f$)

yes by 100 if you want, more than 1 way to skin an onion ... of course am doing this code quick going by the OP 0.5, didn't see the progress bar in OP but loading screen progress bars are simple enough:
of course, the choice is yours.
