Health bar length problem.

Question

Hello, I think that my problem is easy, but can't solve it... I want variable HealthBarLenght to be a float, but I am dividing two integers and then multiplying it by 100. The problem is that if I change curHP to float, it works well, but I want curHP as integer. Maybe any function for temporary converting int to float would help... I will be grateful for any response. This is the code:

 var HealthBarLength : float;
 static var curHP : int = 100;
 
 function Update() {
 
    HealthBarLength =  (curHP/CharacterStats.TotalHP) * 100;
 }

There's an old trick in the book that converts any integer to float. All you have to do is to multiply your int with 1.0:

 HealthBarLength =  ((curHP*1.0)/CharacterStats.TotalHP) * 100;
