[Algorithms] Rounding Problem

[Paul at H. <pa...@ru...>]

God this is driving me nuts. It should be so simple!

I have a world system whereby a grid of 31x31 in grid units is mapped over a range of real values ranging from -15.5 to +15.5

For collision detection reasons, I need a function that will basically do a mod such that when applied to my real X or Z coordinate, it tells me (as a range 0-1) how far into a grid cell I am. I would expect the routine to return 0.1 if I'm a tenth into a particular grid square.

But, whatever combinations of mod,floor,ceil,etc I've tried, when the real coord is negative, I get a 0.9 instead of a 0.1

I'm kinda looking for a float version of "&" iyswim.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong ? 

==========================================
RoundDown=crt floorf btw

tINT GetGridXFromWorld (tF32 WorldX)
{
return tINT(RoundDown(WorldX+15.5F));
}
tINT GetGridYFromWorld (tF32 WorldZ)
{
return tINT(RoundDown(15.5f-WorldZ));
}

I would expect this function to return how far into the current square I am as a normalised "percentage". It's changed a lot but this is definitely wrong. I just can't seem to fix it!
tF32 Frac=Abs((Zc+0.5F)-RoundDown(Zc+0.5F));
