Description
- Description:
- Converts given value from given "from" range to wanted "to" range. If clipping is set to true, the resulting value is guaranteed to be within "to" range no matter what. 
- Groups:
- Math
Syntax
- Syntax:
- linearConversion  [minFrom, maxFrom, value, minTo, maxTo, clip]
- Parameters:
- minFrom: Number - start "from" range
- maxFrom: Number - end "from" range
- value: Number - given value from "from" range
- minTo: Number - start "to" range
- maxTo: Number  - end "to" range
- clip (Optional, default false): Boolean - if true, resulting value cannot leave "to" range
- Return Value:
- Number - respectful value from "to" range
Examples
- Example 1:
- // Say given range is 0 to 1 and wanted range is 0 to 100 (percent calculation). Given value 0.55 then will be 55
linearConversion [0,1,0.55,0,100];
// but if given value is 1.1 it will return 110
linearConversion [0,1,1.1,0,100,false];
// or if clipping is true it will return 100
linearConversion [0,1,1.1,0,100,true];
- Example 2:
- linearConversion [4, 8, 5, 0, 1, false];
- Example 3:
- // Calculate days from 1/1/1970
fnc_daysFromEpoc = 
{
	private _year = param [0];
	private _days = 0;
	for "_i" from 1970 to _year - 1 do 
	{
		_days = _days + round linearConversion [0, 1, dateToNumber [_i, 12, 31, 23, 59], 0, 365, false];
	};
	_days + linearConversion [0, 1, dateToNumber _this, 0, 365, false];
};
hint str (date call fnc_daysFromEpoc);
