How to increment/decrement a variable by a decimal number?

Hi everyone, I have a problem. With this Code:

Code (csharp):

1. if (throttle < 0)  
2.   if(Input.GetKeyDown ("-"))
3.   throttle++;

It increments throttle variable by 1. That's great and all. But I need to increment it by 0.1
How do I go about doing this? I cannot figure it out for the life of me!
Thanks,

GJ

 

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. throttle += 0.1;
3.  

 

how about:

throttle += 0.1;

Cheers

EDIT: Ninja'd!

Oh, well...

Most operators will have a self-incrementing version of themselves actually, as += and -=, you can also use *=, /= and %=

Cheers

 

throttle += 0.1f;

 

negative countdown, why not to use while instead ?.. or may you are using update function btw, i will add a simplest line :

throttle += .1;

i can see this is the first post where all are agreed instantly..

 

Code (csharp):

1. var throttle = 0;
2. var increment = 0.1;
3. function Update () {
4.  
5.  
6.  
7. if (Input.GetKey ("up"))
8. transform.Rotate(-1,0,0);
9.  
10. if (Input.GetKey ("down"))
11. transform.Rotate(1,0,0);
12.  
13. if (Input.GetKey ("left"))
14. transform.Rotate(0,0,-1.5);
15.  
16. if (Input.GetKey ("right"))
17. transform.Rotate(0,0,1.5);
18.  
19. if (throttle > -4)  
20.   if(Input.GetKeyDown ("="))
21.   throttle-= 0.1;
22.  ;
23.  
24.  
25.  
26. if (throttle < 0)
27. transform.Translate(0,0,throttle);
28.  
29. }

That is my entire code.
The Throttle does not work still.
What could I be doing wrong?

 

replace from the second "if" to the last one with "else if", because you are identifying the same condition.. maybe is that ...

note that you have a semicolon after the "throttle-=0.1; line you must to delete it..

 

You're typing throttle as an int, so you can't add or subtract decimals from it. Also, that code won't work right, because it's framerate-dependent. You need to use Time.deltaTime. Additionally, it would be simpler if you used GetAxis. (If you do use GetKey, it's better to use KeyCodes rather than strings.)

Ok how do I change it to a (float?)? when I put 'float throttle' the other parts of the code didnt work.
Sorry I am still fairly new to JS,

 

var throttle = 0.0;

 

Either "var throttle : float = 0", or "var throttle = 0.0".

It's not doing anything, so it would be better to delete it, but it's not actually necessary. It's a blank line; I wonder if the compiler actually uses some kind of no-op instruction, or if it's ignored entirely?

That did it! Thanks a million!
