I'm surprised that the LSL llRound() function doesn't already do this, but I've written a simple function for rounding a number to x decimal places. string Round2String (float x, integer decPlaces) {
integer int = (integer) x;
integer remainder = llRound((x - int) * llPow(10,decPlaces));
if (!remainder) return (string)int;
return (string)int+"."+(string)remainder;
}Simply feed it in the form of: Round2String(3.9221312,2) = 3.92 Round2String(1.532, 1) = 1.5 Round2String(1.032932, 3) = 1.033 The answer returned is a string as I find that most useful, it can however be adapted to give out integers or floats quite happily. Dunno if anyone's found a better way? |

It should be noted that this function will fail on numbers larger then (2 ^ 31) - 1 and on numbers less then zero. The function is a good start but doesn't meet expectations.

If you have a way to round numbers or even truncate them that works on numbers over 2^31-1 I'd like to add that code to my altimeter. The only solutions I can think of involve string operations, or limiting truncation to a range. |

Well, the OP's code emits a string - if you're happy with this you could just cast the float directly to a string, and then see Strife's code below  before edit: ...and then llSubStringIndex the decimal point. Truncate the string, x characters after the point, rather than truncating the number. |

string trunc(float a, integer offset)
{
string b = (string)a;//floats always have the "." at -7
llDeleteSubString(b, -7 + offset + (offset != 0),-1);
}

I hadn't noticed that it was always 7 digits after the decimal point.
That makes things simpler. Thanks.
