I need help with some skript math

[bitter kiln]

Sorry if I pronounce it wrong, Im not quite sure what it's called exactly in english..

But is it possible to make skript calculate a mathematic formula with "to the power of 2", "to the power of 3", etc...
Example:
set {_result} to ceiling(2 * 1.02)³

[plucky totem]

you mean the ²

or ³

?

[fringe turret]

Sadly no, Skript does not have exponents syntax

[bitter kiln]

Yea if its possible to make it calculate those, it doens't have to be ² or ³

Oh

Okaay

[fringe turret]

Wait let me check something..

[bitter kiln]

The only way would be to make skript loop 3 times and then multiply it by 1.02 each time... Was just wondering if there was an faster and "shorter" way to do it

[plucky totem]

do you have skript-reflect

[bitter kiln]

No

[plucky totem]

thats bad

[bitter kiln]

Is it possible with that?

[fringe turret]

Yes

[plucky totem]

yes

[bitter kiln]

oh

What is skript-reflect exactly? I've seen alot of people talk about

[plucky totem]

an addon to write java-code in skript

[bitter kiln]

ah

[fringe turret]

no reflect no life

[bitter kiln]

I don't know java code tho

[fringe turret]

He can spoon you :)

[bitter kiln]

xD

[plucky totem]

import:
  java.lang.Math

command pow <number> <number>:
  trigger:
    Math.pow(arg-1,arg-2)

[fringe turret]

Or make a pow function :D

[plucky totem]

It was just an example bob

[fringe turret]

I know, event.getPlexy()

public static Object plexy = null;

public Object getPlexy() {
    return plexy;
}

[bitter kiln]

I don't get it...

Lets say I wanted something like this to be calculated:
set {_exp} to ceiling({_exp} * {@LifeSkill.Server_data.Mining.Break_exp_multiplier})¹³

but actually

wait

set {_exp} to ceiling({_exp} * {@LifeSkill.Server_data.Mining.Break_exp_multiplier})³

Instead of "³" it would be a variable that can change

[fringe turret]

Plexy, SPOON HIM PLEASE

[bitter kiln]

xD

[fringe turret]

He deserves a SPOON

For reflect newbies is fine for a spoon

[modern yew]

function pow(n: number, i: integer) :: number:
  loop {_i} times:
    set {_n} to {_n} * {_n}
  return {_n}

🙂

[fringe turret]

yes

No

What

[plucky totem]

Math.pow((ceiling({_exp} * {@LifeSkill.Server_data.Mining.Break_exp_multiplier})),3)

[plucky totem]

cringe

[modern yew]

ehy

[plucky totem]

just use reflect

[modern yew]

why

i doubt he has it tbh

[fringe turret]

He can install

It wont hurt

[modern yew]

for pow?

[fringe turret]

For anything

[plucky totem]

for reflect

[modern yew]

why is ^ not vanilla

[fringe turret]

Would you rather install skQuery for a shitty syntax or use skript-reflect and may benefit from this addon in future?

[modern yew]

or do neither

[fringe turret]

Good point

[modern yew]

reflect is still cool but i wouldnt deal with math class

because math sucks

[bitter kiln]

Wait its just like this "Math.pow((ceiling({_exp} * {@LifeSkill.Server_data.Mining.Break_exp_multiplier})),3)"?

[fringe turret]

Well it was before, mistakenly
And it got unexpectedly removed after a regex change in the parser, but they arent aware exponents worked before the change

[modern yew]

try !

[bitter kiln]

Thats not so bad honestly, thanks :D

[fringe turret]

Related issue, not exactly to exponent

I been using 1e+n kek

[modern yew]

for what

[fringe turret]

For math

[modern yew]

what kind of math are you doing with such a big number

[fringe turret]

For skripting

Goodbye

[bitter kiln]

Thanks for the help!

[gusty blaze]

this is not true

[gusty blaze]

Skript represents exponentiation using the ^ operator: https://ayhamal-ali.github.io/Skript/docs.html?search=#ExprArithmetic

For your example, it'd be set {_result} to ceil(2 * 1.02)^3

[fringe turret]

Whaaa
