Remove digits after comma

[Alert23 215]

Hi everyone,

 

i have this script to display the vehicle speed and it does work:

 

[] spawn {while {alive vehicle player} do {  
  
 		_displaySpeed = speed vehicle player;  
   		[format ["%1", _displaySpeed],-0.99,-0.15,9999,0,0,202] spawn BIS_fnc_dynamicText;  
   		sleep 0.1;  
 	}; 
};

but it shows too much digits after the comma:

how can i remove the digits after comma?

thank you for your help.

[] spawn {while {alive vehicle player} do {  
  
 		_displaySpeed = speed vehicle player;  
   		[format ["%1", _displaySpeed toFixed 0],-0.99,-0.15,9999,0,0,202] spawn BIS_fnc_dynamicText;  
   		sleep 0.1;  
 	}; 
};

To get rid of any digits after the comma you can always use floor. Also use an eachframe EH to make it look smooth:

addMissionEventhandler ["EachFrame",{
	if (alive vehicle player) then {
 		_displaySpeed = floor speed vehicle player;  
   		[format ["%1", _displaySpeed],-0.99,-0.15,9999,0,0,202] spawn BIS_fnc_dynamicText;
	}
}]

Consider being more descriptive when picking a thread title, since you already went through the effort to make a screenshot, might as well decide for a more descriptive title.

 

Cheers

Wouldn't round be the better option? Not that it makes that much of a difference...

 

Regarding performance: Is floor, round, ceil or toFixed better?

toFixed. if you want a string.

 

btw format["%1" is nonsense, all that is is str. And toFixed already returns string, so utter nonsense there.

Oh, yeah. Was too focused on the task at hand and didn't double check ^^. I assumed there would be another text going with it like km/h or similar.
