Bug #2568
Requestresource returns 0 for request values below 0.0001
100%
Description
When using Part.requestResource (any of the varieties), asking for a small amount will return 0, and thus causes bugs in custom modules expecting an accurate return value.
To test, ran this code:
if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.K))
{
for (float i = 0.000006f; i < 0.000016f; i += 0.000001f)
{
Debug.Log("requesting " + i + ", got " + part.RequestResource("ElectricCharge", i));
}
}
which returned:
...
requesting 8E-06, got 0
requesting 9E-06, got 0
requesting 1E-05, got 1E-05
requesting 1.1E-05, got 1.1E-05
...
The function takes a float, or even a double as the input, so you would expect it to handle precisions much, much higher than this.
