[LE] SKI UI, Multiply output subtracts 1 from result.

[xWilburCobbx]

I don't know why this is happening, but I have a simple math operation that takes a global variable, multiplies it by 0.1. Normally this outputs like it should, but if I use an MCM programmed for SKI UI to adjust the 0.1 and put it back, it outputs the value by 1 less then it should.

 

This script fragment is the main one that runs this calculation:

 

gTotalPaid.GetValue() = 5,000 * gPercent.GetValue() = 0.1

fTot = (gTotalPaid.GetValue() * gPercent.GetValue())
gTotIncStat.SetValue(fTot)

fTot outputs 500 if untouched, but if I move it up to 0.11 and back to 0.10, it then outputs 499.

 

This isn't the full code, but this is what I use for my SKU UI. These are the important pieces of the code that actually do the adjustments:

 

 

;CODE FRAGMENTS

;----------
;Properties
;----------

float Property fDefPer auto

float fPer

GlobalVariable Property gTotIncStat auto
GlobalVariable Property gInterval auto

int iTot

int _Multiplier
int _ForceMoney

AboveScript property IncQS auto

;---------
;Functions
;---------

event OnPageReset(string page) ;When the meny starts these values are assigned

	iTot = gTotIncStat.GetValue() as int
	fPer = gPercent.GetValue()

	_Multiplier = AddSliderOption("Income Multiplier", fPer, "x{2}") ;This is the slider itself

endEvent


event OnOptionSliderOpen(int option) ;This is how my slider adjust the settings

	SetSliderDialogStartValue(fPer)
	SetSliderDialogDefaultValue(fDefPer)
	SetSliderDialogRange(0.01, 10)
	SetSliderDialogInterval(0.01)

endEvent


event OnOptionSliderAccept(int option, float value) ;This segment will set the percent global to the selected value, and re-run the other code fragment from another script

	gPercent.SetValue(value)
	fPer = value
	SetSliderOptionValue(_Multiplier, fPer, "x{2}")
	IncQS.UpdStatVal()

	iTot = gTotIncStat.GetValue() as int ;Updates the ForceMoney value
	SetTextOptionValue(_ForceMoney, iTot)

endEvent
 

 

 

 

What's weird is it will subtract 1 from only some multiples. Multiples of 0.05 generally subtract 1, but not all. 0.08 will even give me a flat 400.

 

Does anyone know why Papyrus calculates like this? It shouldn't be rounding up/down since 0.10 should be outputting whole numbers. It just takes 1 away from the result on some multiplier values for seemingly no reason.

Ok new development... It's got to be something SKI UI is doing. If I set the value by using the OnOptionDefault() function with a float value that is set to 0.1, it will work normally.

float Property fDefPer = 0.1 auto

event OnOptionDefault(int option)

	gPercent.SetValue(fDefPer)
	fPer = fDefPer
	SetSliderOptionValue(_Multiplier, fPer, "x{2}")
	IncQS.UpdStatVal()
	iTot = gTotIncStat.GetValue() as int ;Updates the ForceMoney value
	SetTextOptionValue(_ForceMoney, iTot)
	
endEvent

Something about SKI UI's slider system is probably outputting strange values.
