This is a bit of an embarrasing question, but is there a way to do that that does not involve me using the floor(someInt) function? I know there is an int() a atof, a ftoa, hell there is even a hex(), but no float()?

if not, RFEEEEE!

I believe hscript itself has no idea of what is an int. I think everything is float.

Some functions work with integers and will round automatically if you feed in a float).

The functions you listed will strip off remainder leaving whole numbers but they still are floats.

In my case, I brought an int attr via a prim expression then dividing it by a float. This resulted on an integer result, which was bad. In ex and python, I would do the float conversion, but in expression, I got stuck ): floor forces the result to float which did the trick , but it seems strange not to have a float () function

Years later, I was wondering the same and found this post.
My solution, multiplying your value by a float. so for example:
is an int
is a float

Channel referencing an int returns a float; no need for conversion before division.
