anybody know how i would go about converting floats

i tried this a $$anonymous$$ute ago but it wasnt responding very well, i have a slider which moves from 0 to 512 along the x axis in localposition.

i need this to be converted into a smooth motion....

ignore that i worked it out i forgot to put localposition in there, i thought i was doing it right, to tired need some sleep

That's all right, but keep in $$anonymous$$d that a maximum number of 512 means there are 513 possible values since 0 is also a value.

Usually if you have a "9 bit" - number it's range goes from 0 to 511 which are 512 values. Since you have to divide by the max value it would be 511 in this case.

I'm not sure where the 512 come from, but for example if you have a texture 512x512 the highest pixel index is 511 since the index starts at 0.

Since the question doesn't give that information we can't say much more about it.

Thanks @Bunny83, missed that 0!

No, everything is right ;) If his max value is 512 it's fine that way. If i see power of two numbers i immediately think of integer values (whole numbers). When reading the question again it seems he has a float value between 0 and 512.

Anyway you have to divide by the maxvalue in any case.

yh i suppose 512 is a bit misleading as most would presume i am talking about pixels
