I'm getting 0 or <0,0,0> for the values of timecolor and agecolor eventhough the variable time is being returned as non zero. any ideas why?


CODE

timer()
    {
        time = time +1;
        float timecolor = time/500;
        vector agecolor= <1,1,1>*(timecolor);
        llSetColor(agecolor,ALL_SIDES);
        
            llSetText((string) agecolor + ".\n " + (string) timecolor + ".\n " + (string) time,<1,0,0>,1);
        
            
        
    }

The function is working perfectly fine. It's just not working the way you wanted it to work.

Try ((float)time)/500.0.

If time is integer it will do integer (time/500) and then convert the resulting zero to float.
