Ok so i was just exploring last nite in the banshee mode tag. Looking around, just to see what i could see. I came across this;
any ideas on why the drivers x coordinates says
-2.801E-08?
How can a coordinate be like that?
I tried changing it, but nothing changed @ all.
A little help anyone?

when a float gets to big, it shortens itself like so. Sorry i cant remember the exact math for that operation

Prey, do u mean the x coord is probably something like this;
-2.8014569544723366544741? Just too big to display?

Not to big to display, just too many numbers for a float to be able to hold.

-2.801E-08 = -0.0000002.801
