Can someone help me please?

Hello!

I am trying to get a script to do a discount and have the discount be a percentage (%), I can get the script to - $L from the price but can not get it to do a % of the price. Can someone please explain to me how to have a script do this? Thank you all so much!

Can you not do a simple maths equation? And say something like:

Price = Original * 0.75

that would give you a 25% discount.

then all you need to do is round the figure up/down to make sure it is a whole number which can be done if you look here: http://lslwiki.net/lslwiki/wakka.php?wakka=llRound

That is how I would approach it personally.

Maybe I am attempting to do this wrong, but when done this way the pay box is empty.

Here is the code I have for the discount:

string p = llList2String(notecardList,(index*4)+2); 
string disc = llList2String(notecardList,(index*4)+3);
price2 = (integer)p * (integer)disc;
llRound(price2);
llSetPayPrice(PAY_HIDE, [price2, PAY_HIDE, PAY_HIDE, PAY_HIDE]);

CODE


string p is the original price and string disc is the % off I want to do.

float calc = amount + 0.0;
float a = calc * ( percent/100 );



then convert your float to integer

price_f=(integer)a;

llSetPayPrice(PAY_HIDE, [price_f, PAY_HIDE, PAY_HIDE, PAY_HIDE]);


PS: i dont know where you pull out the pay moment, but this is how i work with the % discounts in my scripts

price2 = llRound( (float)disc * (float)p );

when you use (integer) casts, you are removing anything after the decimal point...

if you store your discount as %off rather than %total then subtract disc from one before applying, and if it's stored as a whole integer, then divide by 100 first.

ex

disc = 15
price2 = llRound( (1 - (float)disc / 100.0) * (float)p );
