How to: percent from a number - AndreiWow - 18.02.2017

Hey guys, I want to make a percent system that will tell you the stage of something, for example.

This is 36% done.

For example, I will have my variable set to 60. which means one hour, 60 minutes, I will have a timer that will lower 1 every second, the thing is, how can I get the percent from that variable? Like, if it is 0, the text will show.

This is 100%! COMPLETED!

but if the variable is 60 the text will show.

This is 0% completed. I think you got what I mean, I want the percent to update with the variable.

Something like this? Like if the variable is 6 it should be 10% because, 10/100 * 60 = 6 but how can I do this in pawn?

I don't know how to do it in pawn....

x/100*60 = my variable stage.. would be but I don't know how to make pawn find the x number.

First of all, you have to think of where you are going to do the calculations. Maybe you would want to make a percentage function which you could use where ever you want. Or maybe you would just want to make a script which would calculate the percentage in a command.

When you think of the place where you want to create it, you just make a simple code like this one:

Код:

new percentagenumber, number;

percentagenumber=number/100*60;

(1 - (Your variable / 60)) * 100 ?

The percentage calculation is just maths.

Код:

% = 100 - (currentValue / maxValue * 100)

//Say maxValue is 60
//At the start: 0% = 100 - (60 / 60 * 100)
//At the middle: 50% = 100 - (30 / 60 * 100)
//At the end: 100% = 100 - (0/ 60 * 100)

When implementing this in pawn, beware of integer division, so use floats.
Implementation method:

Before the start of the timer, set maxValue.
Before the start of the timer, set currentValue to maxValue.
With every tick of the timer, decrease currentValue and update the string if needed.

x = percentage * y / 100;
