[Pawn] Negative Exponents.

SkydiveX · **Author**

Its all in the question.

Attempting to do

Code:

SetEntityGravity(Client, fSize^-1);

in this case if fSize would equal 2

Code:

 2^-1 = 0.5

Is there some way I could go about doing this

I don't see anything in the SoucePawn getting started guide that talks about exponents, so I have to assume it doesn't support them as an operator.

However, the Pow function exists. Just be aware that all 3 arguments have to be floats. So, with the values you gave:

PHP Code:


			
new Float:result = Pow(float(2), float(-1));

Note that you can also write 2.0 and -1.0 to get floats; I just wrote it this way in case you were using variables.

If you're just going to raise fSize to power of -1, you may as well just use:

Code:

SetEntityGravity(Client, 1/fSize);

Symbol ^ is bitwise XOR.
