In one of my script I need to know if the object Z position is equal to 0, but, sometimes max prints
obj.pos.z = 0.0
, sometimes –
obj.pos.z = -3.8147e-006
.
I use this code for testing if the obj position is equal to 0
if obj.pos.z == 0 or (matchPattern (obj.pos.z as string) pattern:"*e*") then... else...
This not work:
close_enough (-3.8147e-006) 0 1
Is there another way of detecting that -3.8147e-006 is 0?

this is just wrong…
if obj.pos.z == 0 or (matchPattern (obj.pos.z as string) pattern:"*e*") then... else...
it might any number in e pattern…
do something :
if abs (z) < 0.000001 do ...

by the way… you can find my roundFloat function on this forum. it’s what i use instead of the close_enough

Is it that one that you are talking about Denis?

Yes, PEN. I found it, but I need only to know if the value is zero or not, so I start using obj.pos.z < 0.000001.
