Integer Conversion problem

[tjmoore1993]

What is it you are trying to achieve?
I want my converted value you equal the original value before conversion.


What is the problem you are having?
When I convert my integer to a string I get an unequal value.
Example:
INT Value : 100
STRING VALUE : 236

Describe what you have tried to solve this problem
I know that my problem has to do with base but I do not understand it as much.

Turing:

Damagex := 250     Damagey := 240     if cAccuracy > mAccuracy_1 then         RedDamage := (intstr (cDamage, 0, 8))  % Problem is here. Base is where the value 8 is. I do not understand it as much but if I can get help I'd appreciate it.         for i : 1 .. length (RedDamage)             if RedDamage (i) = "0" then                 Pic.Draw (NoRed0, Damagex, Damagey, picMerge)                 Damagex := Damagex + 25             elsif RedDamage (i) = "1" then                 Pic.Draw (NoRed1, Damagex, Damagey, picMerge)                 Damagex := Damagex + 16             elsif RedDamage (i) = "2" then                 Pic.Draw (NoRed2, Damagex, Damagey, picMerge)                 Damagex := Damagex + 23             elsif RedDamage (i) = "3" then                 Pic.Draw (NoRed3, Damagex, Damagey, picMerge)                 Damagex := Damagex + 21             elsif RedDamage (i) = "4" then                 Pic.Draw (NoRed4, Damagex, Damagey, picMerge)                 Damagex := Damagex + 25             elsif RedDamage (i) = "5" then                 Pic.Draw (NoRed5, Damagex, Damagey, picMerge)                 Damagex := Damagex + 22             elsif RedDamage (i) = "6" then                 Pic.Draw (NoRed6, Damagex, Damagey, picMerge)                 Damagex := Damagex + 25             elsif RedDamage (i) = "7" then                 Pic.Draw (NoRed7, Damagex, Damagey, picMerge)                 Damagex := Damagex + 22             elsif RedDamage (i) = "8" then                 Pic.Draw (NoRed8, Damagex, Damagey, picMerge)                 Damagex := Damagex + 22             elsif RedDamage (i) = "9" then                 Pic.Draw (NoRed9, Damagex, Damagey, picMerge)                 Damagex := Damagex + 25             end if         end for     else         Pic.Draw (NoRedMiss, Damagex - 25, Damagey, picMerge)     end if

There is no need to have the 0 or the 8 in the intstr call. The 0 refers to the width of the string, so it is probably doing nothing. The 8 means that it will output the numbers in base 8. you probably do not want base 8.

simplify it by just using intstr(value) with no extra parameters. the other parameters are optional, the command will still work if you leave them out.

Turing:

var myString : string var base8 : string myString := intstr(100) put myString base8 := intstr(100,0,8) put base8

myString returns 100, base8 returns 144.

Thanks, I haven't actually thought about it that way. I totally forgot I can leave out parameters. Thanks for the help !

Your NoRed0,1,2 etc. variables would be much better if stored in an array. Then, you could replicate your for loop in much shorter lines:

Turing:

for i : 1 .. length (RedDamage)     for j : 0 .. 9         if RedDamage (i) = intstr(j) then             Pic.Draw (NoRed(j), Damagex, Damagey, picMerge)             if j = 0 or j = 6 or j = 9 then                 Damagex += 25             elsif %fill in yourself             end if         end if     end for end for

Those pictures actually look pretty good there. Did you make them?

I did not make the ground or characters. They were extracted from Maplestory's WZ archive.
Most of the artwork though is mine.
