Getting rid of decimal points

[Ellie]

I'm making a fishing system, and the "algorithm" I dun chose for the exp unfortunately leaves it with a decimal place at the end.

So, like... 127 / 225.77890632 exp

As this is shown visually, it's not exactly nice to look at.

From the help file, I found that .ceil would round it up, or .truncate would get rid of any places.

I've tried each seperate. I've even tried one after the other... Neither works.

  def levelup
    $game_variables[28] += 1
    $game_variables[44] *= 1.75
    $game_variables[44].ceil
    #$game_variables[44].truncate
    $game_variables[27] = 0
    @help.set_text('Your fishing rank is now ' + $game_variables[28].to_s + '!')
  end

Any ideas?

Edit: Notes:

[27] = fishing exp
[28] = fishing level (rank)
[44] = exp for next level

$game_variables[44] = $game_variables[44].ceil
$game_variables[44] = $game_variables[44].truncate
$game_variables[44] = $game_variables[44].to_i

pick whatever you like ^^

Thanks, that works.

I never realised you had to do it like that though.

It's because the .ceil method is not destructive. (Same with the others)

You can also do this if you want
$game_variables[44] = ($game_variables[44]*1.75).to_i
after all $game_variables[44] *= 1.75 is the same as $game_variables[44] = $game_variables[44] *1.75
