How do I Make a Negative Number Positive in Game Maker?
Answer:
In an earlier question, we talked about how to make positive numbers negative. Well how do you make a negative number positive? Do the same thing as before!
Let's say we want to make a variable positive. Our variable is called myDirection and it equals -5:
| myDirection=-5; |
Any number multiplied by 1 gives you the same number, and multiplying a negative number by a negative number gives you a positive number! So here's the code:
| myDirection=myDirection*-1; |
This code multiplies the value of myDirection by -1, and then puts the answer back in the myDirection variable. Now myDirection is positive! Nice!
