void floatfunc(float);
int l = 1;

floatfunc(l * 0.2);

The parameter in the function call is evaluated as an integer, not a float. Shouldn''t it be the other way around? On that note, is there anyway to typecast in angelscript? As a workaround I''m using my own toInt and toFloat functions that I expose to AS. - Xavier

Type casting can be done like this:

floatfunc(float(l) * 0.2f);

The scripting language doesn't do any implicit casting of variable types. Which is why the value is evaluated as integer.

That said, I think the correct way would be to have the compiler give a warning that the float is implicitly cast to integer. Or perhaps even an error. I might change this for future versions of AngelScript.
