position comparison

jbhcoder

Till yesterday, I was able to check position with

<(x position) = [40]>

or any integer, and it worked. But now it is suddenly stopped working. I now have to perform

<([ceiling v] of ((x position))) = [40]>

Has this behavior just changed?

Check if it has some decimals at the end by clicking the x position reporter.

Yes, it has. That's why I have to now use the ceiling function. But I did not have to do that earlier. Is there a way to make it not have those decimal places?

You can round off decimals to whole numbers using the round () operator.

(round ())

set x to (0) // Reset the position to a whole number so it won't have any decimals

Already doing that, but I am also doing a

move (15) steps

after which it always adds the decimal places

The round off the coordinates after.

move (15) steps
go to x:(round(x position))y:(round(y position))

If this gets too tedious, make a custom block to do it instead.

move (15) steps :: custom
define move (steps) steps
move (steps) steps
go to x:(round(x position))y:(round(y position))
