Energy Gaining Help?

[Nicholas]

hi everyone, im wondering... does anyone know how to make it so no matter what your max energy is, every 5 minutes you only get

5% energy (if non-donator)

8% energy (if donator)

mysql_query("UPDATE users SET energy=energy+(maxenergy/(12.5)) WHERE energy < maxenergy AND donatordays=0");

mysql_query("UPDATE users SET energy=energy+(maxenergy/(6)) WHERE energy < maxenergy AND donatordays>0");

i cant figure it out... im not good with maths lol, i was thinking say you had 12 max energy. (which is level 1 character)

i could get 5% energy every 5 minutes like this for a non-donator

mysql_query("UPDATE users SET energy=energy+(maxenergy/(100*42)) WHERE energy<maxenergy AND donatordays=0");

that make like 5.04% energy... if you can do it like that with the /(100*42)

but... then say you level up and get +1 max energy which be 13 energy and it has that /(100*42), you get 5.46% energy...

can someone help please?

NOTE: ive not tested this yet, dont wanna mess something up lol, so im asking professionals first

Meh lemme work on a rough idea...

Right:

How about multiplying the number by ten to start.

Then dividing it by 500 for nonD's

And divide it by 200 for Don's

Max energy = 13

*10 = 130

130/500 = 0.26

130/200 = 0.65

*10/500 = nonD's

*10/200 = Don's

Seems releativly evil to me but it will keep training ect down so no one person ahead and others having no chance of catching up.

If your just doing a straight percent you could convert it to a decimal.

100% = 1, so 5% would be 0.05 then you could use energy = energy + (maxenergy * 0.05)

[Nicholas]

how would you convert it to a decimal mate?

For the most accurate results use decimal as suggested as small percentage increases at say level 1 will not work due to the figure being low thus being rounded off to zero.

 

If set to store as decimal will store the figure exactly.
