Minor shopping bug

[Vanguard]

While playing today, I had exactly 5.00 gold and tried to buy something for 5.00 gold and it wouldn't let me. I sold a potion for 0.30 and it let me make the purchase after that. What I assume is happening is the game is checking to see if you have more gold than the price of the object, rather than as much or more.

There are 2 possibilities...

1) As you said, > is used instead of >=.
2) You only had 4.999 gold... dunno if the game knows the fractions smaller than 2 decimals.

take for example selling ammo, if you do that I can guarantee that you will have a strange amount of gold (unless you use it to round it to a nice figure first).

Floats should never be used for money. Is this a lua issue? I'd've thought lua has integers, but hell, perl doesn't.

I've had this happen---3 gold and tried to buy a lesser healing for 3. managed to raise 0.1 and my return met with consumer success.

Actually I looked into it, and the lua people only seem to use doubles. Apparently this is "never a problem."

lovely.
