Percentage HP

[AncestralGuitarist]

Hi guys! I need some help to fix this trouble.

I'm scripting a Scene that simulates a wrestling pinfall.
During the action the player needs to push a button repeatedly, that adds one point of HP any time, to reach 30% of MAXHP to escape.

I have two problems:

- In time update I put percentage formula but it doesn't work. There's no difference if i write extended or not ($game_actors[1].hp / 100 * 30 )
- I need to stop time if the condition of 30% is reached

There is my script :

  def time
     @time += 1
     case @time
     when 100
        @conteggio.bitmap = RPG::Cache.picture("3") rescue nil
     end
     case @time
     when 50
        @conteggio.bitmap = RPG::Cache.picture("2") rescue nil
     end
      case @time
      when 0
        @conteggio.bitmap = RPG::Cache.picture("1") rescue nil
        end
     if @time > 150
       if  $game_actors[1].hp >= 30%
         $game_variables[5] += 1
         $game_switches[1] = true
         $game_map.need_refresh = true
         $scene = Scene_Map.new
       else  $game_actors[1].hp <= 30%
       $scene = Scene_Gameover.new
       end
       end
     end

The result is... The game continue in the same way... With 0 or 100% HP

I hope that someone can help me

When dividing with integers, particularly for finding percentages of something, it's imperative that you multiply first then divide. Integer division does not convert to decimals.

50 / 100 * 30 = (50 / 100) * 30 = 0 * 30 = 0
50 * 30 / 100 = (50 * 30) / 100 = 1500 / 100 = 15

Whereas something like this is okay (note the 100.0, turning this into a floating point division).
50 / 100.0 * 30 = 0.5 * 30 = 15.0

But integer division is faster than floating point division, so it's best you stick with the first solution.

def time
  case @time
  when 0
    @conteggio.bitmap = RPG::Cache.picture("1")
  when 50
    @conteggio.bitmap = RPG::Cache.picture("2")
  when 100
    @conteggio.bitmap = RPG::Cache.picture("3")
  end
  @time += 1

  if @time < 150
    if $game_actors[1].hp >= $game_actors[1].maxp * 30 / 100
      $game_variables[5] += 1
      $game_switches[1] = true
      $game_map.need_refresh = true
      $scene = Scene_Map.new
    end
  else  
    $scene = Scene_Gameover.new
  end
end

if $game_actors[1].hp >= $game_actors[1].maxp * 30 / 100

Thanks! It works!
