//I want to set myBuf.pos to a percentage of myBuf.samples()... //Start playing at say 40% through the total number of samples.

40.0 => float pctPosInit; pctPosInit/100*myBuf.samples() => myBuf.pos;

This throws the error argument types don't match. I'm not seeing how to convert the float to an int here. Thanks for your help!

The ChucK language has a cast operator '$' which might come in handy in this situation

(pctPosInit/100*myBuf.samples()) $ int => myBuf.pos;

Cheers,

to convert a float to an int, you need to explicitly cast the value with 4.8 $ int => int foo; // foo == 4 (as written here: https://chuck.cs.princeton.edu/doc/language/oper.html)

So you would do something like pctPosInit $ int => int pctPosInitInt pctPosInitInt/100*myBuf.samples() => myBuf.pos;

The previous example would look something like this if we used Math.round():

Math.round(pctPosInit) $ int => int pctPosInitInt; pctPosInitInt/100*myBuf.samples() => myBuf.pos;

Best regards!
