Had the same issues, try this...

debug.messagebox(Num) / 100

That was it!

Thank you so very much, I thought I was going crazy.

...and now I hate you.

Now I have to go thru ALL my scripts ( OMG ) and double check that this is not in any of my other math formulas.

I do not think it is because I would have caught this by now if I did this, but now I have to read EVERY line just to be sure.

Yeah, math drove me crazy as well in a miriad of scripts, specially the CK Wiki tells you otherwise.

Strange how some like this will work: massmod = AttackerWeapon.GetWeight() / steelSwordW

and this: attacker.GetActorValue("Sneak")/100

Both are working fine, but not the one that is "get faction rank".

Well, once again thank you, I would have been banging my head on a wall all night if you had not answered that so quickly.

This look like the integer arithmetic problem someone just asked about all over again. There's no mystery. If you divide two integers you get an integer back, even if you want to use it as a float later.

GetWeight() returns a floating point number GetFactionRank() doesn't.

debug.messagebox(attacker.getfactionrank(aadpH2HSkill) / 100.0) ; putting the decimal point in 100.0 will give you a decimal answer.

If both numbers are in integer variables (or integer values returned by a function) use the "as float" operation on one of them.

float avg = (sum as float) / count
float avg = sum / (count as float)

interesting, that does make sense (in a programming "think" way) , but then why is this one working correctly:

attacker.GetActorValue("Sneak")/100

GetActorValue("Sneak") is an Int ...er...right?

Actor Values are floats (well some of them are at least). Health, Magicka, and Stamina definitely are. I think skills use the fractional part to report progress toward leveling. Some others never have a fractional value, but the function always returns a float.
