Need help with variables / text

I want to make distance meter. Now what I have is: reading x position of an object and placing this data into global variable. As a result I got distance in pixels. My problem is that construct shows massive number (example 404.3089748374) so it's 404 px and so much more.

Question: How to reduce that just to whole numbers (main part) and how to divide that by 5 for example.

Always(every tick):

System: Set global variable 'dis' to Sprite2.X

Text: Set text to global('dist')

Thanks

If you want a whole number, use round(number), such as round(global('dist') / 5)

http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/c ... xpressions has some helpful stuff on it.

Also, when doing something like: System: Set global variable to...

in that window, you should be able to double-click on the system object, and it'll give you a list of system expressions you can use.

Also of note is the expression: distance(x1,y1,x2,y2)

You can go: distance(sprite1.x,sprite1.y,sprite2.x,sprite2.y)

or round(distance(sprite1.x,sprite1.y,sprite2.x,sprite2.y))

Thank's, this is exacly what I was looking for. Many thanks!
