Simple C++ question

[MrIslomaniac]

Why doesn't this work?

if (atoi(GetEntityKey(Entity,"Value1","NULL")) >= atoi(GetEntityKey(entity,"Value2","NULL"))){

Left side contains 30, right side 20, but it doesn't work -.-

Any idea?

 

Thanks

What's not working precisely? The conversion from string to int? Is GetEntityKey returning NULL? A little more info would be nice!

 

Cheers!

no that works correctly, atoi(GetEntityKey(Entity,"Value1","NULL")) returns 30 and atoi(GetEntityKey(Entity,"Value2","NULL")) returns 20

but this if is not working

if (atoi(GetEntityKey(Entity,"Value1","NULL")) >= atoi(GetEntityKey(entity,"Value2","NULL"))){
return 1
}
else
return 0

always returns 1

even if left side is 0 and right side is 30 ...

another example that does not work:

0 >= 0

another example that does not work:

0 >= 0

 

Well, that should evaluate to true (return 1)... 0 is after all, equal to 0.

 

Secondly, is that code copied/pasted? Your second atoi statement has a lowercase 'e' on the entity, which could cause it to bring back a zero... In which case, only a negative number on the LHS can cause an evaluation of false

No, just wrong typing, sorry =(

if (atoi(GetEntityKey(entity,"Value1","NULL")) >= (atoi(GetEntityKey(entity,"Value2","NULL")))){
printf("LOLOLOL\n");
}

Sometimes it works, sometimes it does not ...

Examples:

1 >= 58

well as i said sometimes it doesn't work with any number, sometimes it works perfectly...

 

//EDIT

found a way to get it working, when i store atoi(GetEntityKey(entity,"Value2","NULL")) in an int variable right before i do the if statement, it works =)

thanks for your help
