Miles Per Gallon - Luis- - 22.04.2014

Right guys, i'm stumped. After nearly a day searching the internet on how MPG works, i'm resorted to asking here.

Basically i'm revamping my fuel system and am adding in mpg & fuel capacity for each vehicle, so far I've got the mileage system working, but how would I go about getting the MPG from the mileage?

What would the formula be?

Going to have to bump this, need help on the matter.

Re: Miles Per Gallon - BigBrainAFK - 23.04.2014

i think you would do something like:

pawn Код:

randomtimer()
{
    for(new a = 0; a < sizeof(Yourfuelarray); a++)
    {
              Yourfuelarray[carid] = drivenmiles * milespergallon
    }
}

and then just link the function with a timer

Re: Miles Per Gallon - Luis- - 23.04.2014

Ah right. You'll have to excuse me cause i'm a newbie when it comes to complex maths.

So basically the above code will give me the miles per gallon of say a Sultan? I would just times the mileage of the car with the miles per gallon that's in my array?

Re: Miles Per Gallon - BigBrainAFK - 23.04.2014

yah you first have to set like an array for the milespergalon if this should be something else for every car

like:

pawn Код:

new milespergalon[212][] = {
"4", "4.5" and so on }

and fetch the MPG with a stock like:

pawn Код:

public GetMPGFromID(vid)
{
        return milespergalon[i + 400];
}

or you just fetch it in the calculation

pawn Код:

randomtimer()
{
    for(new a = 0; a < sizeof(Yourfuelarray); a++)
    {
              new model = GetVehicleID(carid)
              Yourfuelarray[carid] = yourcarenum[carid][drivenmiles] * milespergallon[model]
    }
}

i should notice that this is madeup as i'm writing the quick replys so it could be that it dosen't work

Yeah, that should be subtraction because it will exceed the bounds.

You basically want to get the distance, don't you? The distance is equal with mileage x fuel.

oh ya thanks for the tip and i just wrote the fuel that was used over a distance sorry for that but reading is not my best so: I'm sorry ;(

Re: Miles Per Gallon - Luis- - 23.04.2014

Oh, right. Well just added a temp string to see what the MPG actually was, says it's 3529 but the set MPG for the vehicle I was in was 38.

Need to figure out to make it do the MPG that is in the array now.
