Add C# integer casts where needed in Your first 2D game

[Calinou]

PS: Is a cast to float needed here?

godot-docs/tutorials/animation/animation_track_types.rst

Line 113 in e87d427

var multiplier = GD.RandRange(.8, 1.2);

• See getting_started/first_3d_game/04.mob_scene godot-docs-user-notes#118 (comment).

These shouldn't be needed. The MinSpeed and MaxSpeed properties are defined as int in the tutorial from what I can see, so the int GD.RandRange(int, int) overload would be used and that already returns int.

As for var multiplier = GD.RandRange(.8, 1.2); I don't think it needs a cast either, since the multiplier variable is only used to add it to an untyped Godot Array.

Agree, these don't look needed. In fact if you add the cast, your editor might suggest removing them (I get an IDE0004 suggestion in VSCode).

The original docs comment says:

GD.RandRange() requires an explicit cast so it would be great to add [these casts]

But I think they may be extrapolating from the earlier cast from C# double to float, which is required because RotateY() takes a float argument:

godot-docs/getting_started/first_3d_game/04.mob_scene.rst

Line 316 in e87d427

RotateY((float)GD.RandRange(-Mathf.Pi / 4.0, Mathf.Pi / 4.0));

Cheers mate, seems like I used the wrong override by making my MinSpeed & MaxSpeed properties as floats and extrapolated from the mentioned previous section of tutorial. My mistake!

Closing this per tetrapod and raulsntos' comments.
