I am working on a project putting Xcite arousal into a bed I own. I will not bore you with the details but it is turning out that I do need a certain degree of mathematical precision. I searched around the forums but did not see it addressed and I am not writing scripts so I figured I would throw it out here and see if anyone knows.
Xcite works on an arousal scale from 0 to 100 where wonderful things happen at 100. Xcite has decay of arousal built in. The rate is 5% every 30 seconds which I presume is 5% of the current arousal and not 5% of 100. Does anyone know how many decimal places are used for the numerical amounts? If only whole numbers are used are they rounded or truncated?
The line you put in the bed notecard reads Xcite = XX/YY/ZZ where:
XX = Frequency arousal is added in seconds
YY = Amount of arousal to add
ZZ = Maximum arousal allowed
Again same question, do these have to be whole numbers?
I did try a funny combination of Xcite = 6/50/100 but for some reason it appeared to only add 5. Maybe it only allows single digits. Any thoughts?
Thanks for your time.

I'm so glad I have a RL partner I don't have to adjust their notecard  |

Well, I think it's important to not just rush in there and give those decimals a good rounding without a good understanding of the proper timing. Or one might find one's whole number suddenly truncated.

It will certainly take double digits and as far as I know just integer, i've never used floats with it.
