Equation to convert value

[yaim904]

How to convert the value of the effect in the corresponding time??

Code: Select all

[ 'construction-robotics' ] = {
	[ 'type' ] = 'technology',
	[ 'name' ] = 'construction-robotics',
	[ 'icon_size' ] = 256,
	[ 'icon_mipmaps' ] = 4,
	[ 'icon' ] = '__base__/graphics/technology/construction-robotics.png',
	[ 'effects' ] = {
		[ 5 ] = {
			[ 'type' ] = 'ghost-time-to-live',
			[ 'modifier' ] = 36288000,
		},
	},
	[ 'prerequisites' ] = {
		[ 1 ] = 'robotics',
	},
	[ 'unit' ] = {
		[ 'count' ] = 100,
		[ 'ingredients' ] = {
			[ 1 ] = {
				[ 1 ] = 'automation-science-pack',
				[ 2 ] = 1,
			},
			[ 2 ] = {
				[ 1 ] = 'logistic-science-pack',
				[ 2 ] = 1,
			},
			[ 3 ] = {
				[ 1 ] = 'chemical-science-pack',
				[ 2 ] = 1,
			},
		},
		[ 'time' ] = 30,
	},
	[ 'order' ] = 'c-k-a',
},

The time in the prototype is

Code: Select all

[ 5 ] = {
	[ 'type' ] = 'ghost-time-to-live',
	[ 'modifier' ] = 36288000,
},

But in the game the value is 168h

The question is: What equation is used to calculate this time?

[coderpatsy]

60 updates per second * 60 seconds per minute * 60 minutes per hour * 168 hours = 36288000

[yaim904]

your calculations are wrong

Code: Select all

36288000 / ( 60 ^ 3 ) = 216000

[mmmPI]

The time in the prototype is
[ 'modifier' ] = 36288000,
But in the game the value is 168h

The question is: What equation is used to calculate this time?

(36288000/60)/3600=168

60 tick in 1 second, 3600 second in 1 hour

tick = game update
60 ups = 60 tick per second.

Now I understand

Thank you very much

your calculations are wrong

Code: Select all

36288000 / ( 60 ^ 3 ) = 216000

You might want to run that through a calculator again. 36288000 / ( 60 ^ 3 ) is 168.

[yaim904]

I think you should check your calculation

Code: Select all

36288000 / ( 60 ^ 3 ) = 216000

But, this equation is fine.

(36288000/60)/3600=168

Use a calculator and you will see who is right, after all it is mathematics.

I think you should check your calculation

Code: Select all

36288000 / ( 60 ^ 3 ) = 216000

You are seeing the result of the intermediate calculation (60^3 is 216000). Pressing "=" will show 168, or you need a better calculator.

[pleegwat]

your calculations are wrong

Code: Select all

36288000 / ( 60 ^ 3 ) = 216000

The meaning of the ^ operator varies from platform to platform. Yours applies xor; you just calculated 36288000/63.

[yaim904]

You are seeing the result of the intermediate calculation

you're right

I was seeing an intermediate value.
