How do I round up numbers from 53-> 64 & 25 -> 32, etc...

Not sure if the title is correct, but what I am asking for is how do i get a number like 57 to become rounded to 64. 34 to 32, etc...

I am currently working on a grid system where i want an object to jump between grids to not go smoothly over corresponding to my mouse x & y coordinates. I want the numbers of my coordinates to pick the closest 32x.

Something like

round(int(YOURVALUE)/32)*32

zenox98 - is that int() really necessary?

Something like

round(int(YOURVALUE)/32)*32

Thanks a lot! It worked.

I was using text boxes as a test, so for this, yes. If it was a variable, probably not.

Ah, I see. So HPA97 - if your values are already numbers you can omit that int - just have round(yourvalue/gridspacing)*gridspacing. Perhaps saves a picosecond of processing time somewhere

I just amended post for clarity, but you beat me to it

Heh, heh. Just to needlessly inflate this topic even more - sometimes the sudden jump of a rounded value when it goes from, say 0.49 to 0.51 can be jarring in that case you can replace round with floor() or ceil() to get the lowest and highest values respectively. I prefer that on a grid, but it's a matter of taste.
