Hey, probably somthing very simple but in my program, I have code for ammo that uses decimals. What I want to do is
But I don't want to show the decimal values after it. How do I do this?

Thanks in Advance,

Ideally you should not use float values, ie fractional values, to store simple numbers like ammo, health, etc. Why would ammo be fractional like 4.3 ??

You should just use integers (whole numbers). So just ditch the # after the variable name and you get integers

Boo!

I have to agree with spooky there. You'll also find that if you use floats that you will end up with 4.4999999 ammo instead of 4.5 due to the wonders of number rounding

As an assumption are you storing clips & bullets in clip? Would be better using two integers there.

One small search would bring up countless topics covering this;



Call that function for the Ammo# variable, or extract the code into your main loop. Either way, next time please do some searching before posting.
