Re: Variable Multiple Checker
Yes, you can use the
() mod ()
block in Operators.
It returns the remainder when dividin the first number by the second, so a multiple of a number will return remainder 0.
<[(x) mod (3)] = [0]>
will return true if x is a multiple of 3
will return false if x is not a multiple of three.

Well, it should. I'm not entirely sure what's going on, though I do have an idea developing. In the meanwhile, you could try doing this:
forever if <(((round ((10) * (timer))) / (10)) mod (0.5)) = (0)>//Multiple the 10's by 10 for greater accuracy. ...
I hope that this helps!

I'll give it a shot. Thanks for the help!
