Image disappearing when assigning fill amount

Hello,

I have a standard circular "ammo bar" under my UI canvas that i want to track the amount of ammo i have left defined in my gamemaster script

The problem is that once I fire, subtracting the ammo by 1... the fill amount goes to 0 and the image disappears. I've checked the math, and debugged the values in real time... scripts are communicating just fine... but for some reason the fill amount just goes to zero once i fire the first bullet. Heres my code applied to directly to the image under canvas:

Code (CSharp):

1.      public static Image ammoCounter;
2.      private GameObject gm;
3.      void Start () {
4.          ammoCounter = GetComponent<Image>();
5.          gm = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("gamemaster");
6.      }
7.    
8.      void FixedUpdate () {
9.          ammoCounter.fillAmount = gm.GetComponent<gamemaster>().foodAmmo / 50;
10.          print(gm.GetComponent<gamemaster>().foodAmmo);
11.      }
12. }

my food ammo value in gamemaster is assigning fine... I assign it to 50 in the inspector.

Any help?

 

The trouble with integer math is that it returns an integer, even when dividing.

Code (csharp):

1.  
2.          ammoCounter.fillAmount = ( (float)gm.GetComponent<gamemaster>().foodAmmo) / 50f;
3.  

 

Yes!

that makes sense and works perfectly. Thanks a bunch
