Okay well i need to know a way with code to work out for example
i have a room that is 5m
i need a program to do
5m = 500cm3

i want to do this as in minecraft me and my freind have started buildling life sized houses and we know on minecraft block is 1cubic meter soo we want to make a program that converts real life messurements into blocks so we can build a life size version of our local town

There is no straight conversion for metres to cubic centimeters as fast as my knowledge goes. You would first need to convert the metres into cubic metres first and then convert it into cubic centimeters. I'll write up some code for you when I get home, I'm on mobile currently.

1x1x1cm = 1cubic cm
10x10x10cm= 1000cubic cm
100x100x100cm = 1x1x1m = 1000000cubic cm

Code: Select all

'''
'''<summary>Converts a specified amount of cubic meters into cubic centimeters.</summary>
'''
Private Function GetCubicCM(ByVal CubicMeters As Integer) As Integer
   Return CubicMeters * 1000000
End Function

MrAksel to the rescue lol :lol:

1x1x1cm = 1cubic cm
10x10x10cm= 1000cubic cm
100x100x100cm = 1x1x1m = 1000000cubic cm

Code: Select all

'''
'''<summary>Converts a specified amount of cubic meters into cubic centimeters.</summary>
'''
Private Function GetCubicCM(ByVal CubicMeters As Integer) As Integer
   Return CubicMeters * 1000000
End Function

Wow! I never thought something I learned in math class would actually be this useful code wise :lol:

Hey, if you also need to convert it to Liters, just PM me :lol:

1 dm3 = 1 liter

okayi sort of see how that is working but i need to know how to make it soo you have 1 textbox with say 15cm in it then it converts that into say 150 minecraft block each block is 1cm3 we know this soo how would i make it work this out could you just do for example
textbox.text +,*100000 but that wouldnt work i dont think and Also would any like ot help me i hope to make this like the minecraft version of prodesktop

To get the cube of a value, you can use this "^ 3". I remember using it in my old calculator application but in my case I used this method to get the square of the value.

I don't know if I understood your question but if you need further explanation, feel free to ask.

WOW i need to learn to explain my self beter right i want to make it some someone puts in a messurements such as 5m and then my program converts that and says 500mcb minecraft blocks
is that possible or will i need to invent something to do it

[MrAksel]

Uhm, can't you just use

Code: Select all

Dim Blocks As Integer = TextBox1.Text * 100
