 Overflow? I was just messing around on bodyladder with Data and his SMG, when a zombie falling from the sky blew up my head! strangely enough... This shot my health up to 999999999!!!  What are they using to store the health, a long? Edit: almost forget the pic!

Re: Overflow? It's the Data actor.
That is supposed to happen.

Re: Overflow? What he means is that most games would have gone into overflow, bumping it from a ridiculously high number to a ridiculously low one.

Re: Overflow? Pretty sure health is a long signed integer, which gives it a limit from -2147483648 to 2147483647.

Re: Overflow? Hmm... what are the chances of the health being exactly that number?...
Does the health integer have limiter code to stop it from going higher or lower than that preset limit?
I'd be interested to know what other integers have limits...

Re: Overflow? Try just accepting it. Data is epic. The world just is that way.

I'd be interested to know what other integers have limits... C++ (like most languages) has a few flavors of variables. Long, unsigned integers are limited to precisely that variable. Any longer and changes have no actual effect. Also, I now challenge someone to get a screenshot of that much negative health.

Re: Overflow? You're a bit late, Azukki got a negative value far lower than the normal limit of a long signed integer.
And posted a .gif in the Epic Moments Thread.
