This is probably a very stupid question but I'm stuck.

I've got an if statement and I'm trying to output a float.

As you can see, I can only get an int at the output (1 or 0).

Is there something to specify somewhere for me to get a float?

Hi,
This is probably a very stupid question but I'm stuck.

If $i1 < 44
Then output $i1/44 (float)
else output 1.

yes, $f1 (float variable) as opposed to $i1 (integer variable).

also be careful of the order of messages, you may need to calculate before you send to the if object...

----------------------------------------------------

Also, when writing values in max objects be aware that "44" refers to an integer with a value of 44, and "44." refers to a float with the same value. A small but important difference, because this will often determine whether your output is float or integer.

instead of $i1 ... $i3, you should use $f1 ... $f3
