Why floating point result?

[wrathchild]

Hi all

I have this formula for a token property field:

Code: Select all

SwingMod:{if(ST<9, ceil(ST/2)-6, ((ST/4)-floor((ST-1)/4))*4-2)}

Why does this formula return a result with a floating point number? ST is simply

Code: Select all

ST:10

or another integer.

This similar formula does not return a floating point:

Code: Select all

ThrustMod:{floor(if(ST<11,ceil(ST/2)-7,(ceil((ST-10)/2)/4-floor(ceil((ST-10)/2-1)/4))*4-2))}

I''d rather avoid the floating point.

ST / 4.. you'll want to ceil or round that?

THANK YOU! Was driving me nuts! (the solution was to be floor'ing that whole "else" statement - just the ST/4 wouldn't work on its own)
