I want to do a calculation like this:

8 / 5 = 1.6

But I want the result to be 1, dropping everything after the decimal.

How can I do this?

round(x, 1)

round(x) should work, it's a floor function.

Rounding up? use round()

or if you wanna parse :D

proc/dec2dig()
    .="[args[1]]"
    if(findtext(.,"."))return text2num(copytext(.,1,findtext(.,".")))

BYOND's round() function automatically rounds down. It's a floor function.

I ended up parsing at first, and then switching to just using round() haha.

Thanks.
