Not a Real Number (solved)

by rennie moffat · in Torque Game Builder · 04/05/2011 (9:21 am) · 3 replies

hi there,
I am wondering, in some of my calculations I am returned an inf value. In others, not a real number. If this is a case, is there a way for Torque Script to see that %variable is not a real number?




Thanks.

    function isNan(%var)
    {
    return %var != %var;
    }

    Thing is, %var is very fluid. It can change, continually on an instant. I will try your other method and keep you posted.

    ///other method.
    function isInfinite(%var)
    {
    return (%var < mPow(10,-37)) && (%var > mPow(10,37))
    }
    \\\other method over.

    Thanks.

    I just put in a "block", a call to say if this is not true, right before the key calculation and the problem has gone. Thanks.
