tonumber()

[ViRuZGamiing]

Hey guys,

small question I'm using a tonumber() on a string which contains a number between 0 and 1 (example. 0.48)

Is it possible that it makes it 0 and not 0.48 becuase I'm getting an error that I'm compairing nil to a number which tonumber's return being the nil. I've output the string and gave me the number, without tonumber() I get trying to compaire string with number.

Kind regards,

Billy

LUA:

    outputServerLog(regenmmPerUur) 
    if (regenmmPerUur < 1) then 

Console:

[12:32:06] 0.252 
[12:32:06] ERROR: xml\server.lua:13: attempt to compare string with number 

When tonumber() is added, Console:

[12:34:13] ERROR: xml\server.lua:14: attempt to compare string with number

tonumber(..) should work. You see that the error line is not anymore on the 13th line when you implement it?

That's because then tonumber() is added lol *facepalm*

    outputServerLog(regenmmPerUur) 
    tonumber(regenmmPerUur) 
    if (regenmmPerUur < 1) then

outputServerLog(regenmmPerUur) 
if (tonumber(regenmmPerUur) < 1) then 

It should be implemented like this.

OMG now I feel bad for my retardness, this would work to right?

regenmmPerUur = tonumber(regenmmPerUur)

Yes. BTW, it is normal that it confuses people, since they cannot know whether tonumber(..)'s arguments are passed by reference or value.
