Does anyone happen to have a handy stock that will convert numbers like

1 to 0
and 3 to 5

so it would be

0
5
10
15
20
etc..

I would apprecciate it

I think you mean 2 to 5, right?

new output = (input*5)-5;

It would be better if you kept 0 as 0, changing 1 to 5, 2 to 10, 3 to 15, etc. This depends on your purposes though.

new output = (input*5);

This seems WAY too simple though; I've probably misunderstood your question.

PHP Code:

    new raw = GetRandomInt(2,56);
    PrintToChat(client, "Raw = %i", raw);
    new output = (raw*5)-5;
    PrintToChat(client, "Output = %i", output); 


Raw = 49
Output = 240

Output should of have been 50 after conversion

What the heck.
I just didn't get it at all.

Neither do i

Basically i want numbers that can be divided by 5

But HOW do you want those numbers? Your first post indicated that you wanted each regular integer to have a corresponding multiple of 5. 1 = 0, 2 = 5, 3 = 10, 4 = 15, 5 = 20, 6 = 25, etc.

Or is this not what you want?

Sounds like you want to round to nearest fifth, so maybe something like

PHP Code:

// For integers
new output = ((input + 5) / 5) * 5;

// For floats
new Float:output = RoundToNearest(input / 5.0) * 5.0; 


It can be changed to any number as long as you change the 5's or 5.0's to something else (must be the same in all instances)

I don't want them to have any corresponding multiples
I want the number to round down or up according to what the number is

3 rounds up to 5
5 stays as 5
6 rounds down to 5
7 rounds down to 5
8 rounds up to 10
9 rounds up to 10
10 stays as 10

I can't really explain it any better

EDIT:

Will try your replies Cookies.net and KissLick

It would be easier to use the modulo function, methinks.

PHP Code:

stock RoundToFive(input) {
    new remainder = input % 5;
    if (remainder == 0) return input;
    if (remainder <= 2) return (input-remainder);
    if (remainder >= 3) return (input+(5-remainder));
}
