"int To Float' Implicit Conversion...

Unity Engine

Hello, I’m having trouble with converting “Int to Float” vice versa. I’m wondering if someone can help me to convert the int to float stats.currentHealth *= multiplier; It is Underlined and in bold text down below.

using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class PowerUp : MonoBehaviour {

public float multiplier = 1.5f;

public GameObject pickupEffect;

void OnTriggerEnter (Collider other)
{
if (other.CompareTag("Player"))
{
Pickup(other);
}
}

void Pickup(Collider player)
{
Instantiate(pickupEffect, transform.position, transform.rotation);

CharacterStats stats = player.GetComponent<CharacterStats>();
stats.currentHealth *= multiplier;

Destroy(gameObject);
}

So you want something like

stats.currentHealth = (int)(multiplier * stats.currentHealth);

?

You can’t convert float to int implicitly because it will lose fraction part. You may force the conversion:

stats.currentHealth = (int)(stats.currentHealth * multiplier);

But better choice is to use Mathf.RoundToInt, CeilToInt, FloorToInt according to your game logic.

stats.currentHealth = Mathf.RoundToInt(stats.currentHealth * multiplier);
