Setting String Depending On Float (I think?) - NeRoSiS - 07.06.2009

Okay, firstly thanks for even looking at his to help.

Okay I could do it like this

pawn Код:

new Float:Health;
    GetPlayerHealth(playerid,Health);
    if(Health == 99)
    {
        TextDrawSetString(HealthBar[playerid],"...................................................................................................");
      return 1;
    }

But that means I need to do that 100 times, which would kind of blag to write out, so could I create a string, then the amount of health = the amount of dots.

pawn Код:

new Float:Health, string[128];
    GetPlayerHealth(playerid,Health);
    //format the string to health = dots
    TextDrawSetString(HealthBar[playerid],string);

Thanks in advance.

You could convert the float to an integer, then loop strcat to add a dot each time, and then send the string this makes.

eg:

pawn Код:

new Float:Health, iHealth, LString[105];
    GetPlayerHealth(playerid,Health);
    iHealth = floatround(Health, floatround_ceil);
    for(new i; i < iHealth; i++)
    {
        strcat(LString, ".");
    }

Very Untested.

pawn Код:

LString[i] = '.';

will be much faster than strcat

Plus I don't think I was using strcat properly, thanks >.>

I'll give it a test, thanks a lot for the input it means a lot to me.

Now that is really something, thanks a lot, I just learnt an amazing function and saved 1000 lines of code.

Thanks a lot Orb and Weirdo!
