I’m kinda’ embarrassed to ask something like this but I need a solution for a (probably very simple) math/logic problem:
MyActor1 requests 100 Units from Actor2 who only has 50.
How do I make sure that MyActor1 only gets 50 which are actually “taken” off actor 2 and setboth variables accordingly (A1’s to 50 and A2’s to 0 respectively).
So far, I’ve only been able to make A2 go into -50 to satisfy the request - I’m stuck.
As I said, It’s embarrassing, but apparently after 12 years of intensive mathematics I’m unable to use ANY of it in real-life/logic situations…Give me “typical” calculus problems and I can solve them, without really understanding anything.
Hope someone will actually waste their time answering something like this
Hello Florian, from the amount requested and the amount owned you have to take the minimum of both, and for that you have a specific operator that will return you the minimum value.
I attached a pic, hope it helps
Yes! Thank you Ramon! Exactly what I was looking for!
Thank you all for your inputs. Maybe I didn’t explain the complexity of the problem, but that was just an example. I got various trade-relationships between my BPs and I was looking for a more abstract solution, something I can generalize regardless of actual values. I’ve tried using endless bools but the logic is flawed and breaks down in certain situations, for instance:
First call: A1 has 4 units, A2 requests 12 => A2 will get only 4, A1 will be left with 0 >>
Second call: A1 has 6 units, A2 requests only 8 [12-4], receives only 6 and A1 is left with 0 again…
…And so on.
It’s for a worker allocation pool where the manager BP holds/receives the workers and various other BPs calls a request for them…It’s dynamics based on other mechanics which means that values in the manager can change at any time, and requests keep calling until they get satisfied, after which they are handled.
