Floating point division remainder function?

Hi there,

Been trying to find a way of having floating point division remainders and haven't had any luck in doing so.

All I require to do is change a variable every time 3 seconds go by. After some research online, I noticed for normal c# that the fmod function was used however I cannot seem to find this within Unity.

Any help or suggestions would be welcomed.

Thanks in advance!

 

While I don't know what "floating point division remainders" and "change a variable every 3 seconds" have to do with each other...

The standard modulus operator in C# can be applied to any numeric type, including floats. So...

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. 9.1f % 3
3.  

Will yield 0.1, or something very close to 0.1 (as is the case with almost any floating point math).

%

Use InvokeRepeating.

Unity uses normal C#; there isn't any fmod function, but just use % like I mentioned.

I doubt this will do what you want it to.
I am assuming you are going to try to increment a counter everytime Time.time % 3==0? If this is so, then it will be quite unreliable as time.deltaTime is greater than float.minDelta... I.E Your just as likely for iteration x to find Time.time%3==2.98 and iteration x+1 to find Time.time%3==0.01 or something similiar..

 

how do i do this in unityscript? the % doesn't work...

 

Yes it does.

 

Are you using it right? You might want to use %= if your trying to assign it.
