Setting var at intervals of damage by 100

Put simply. I don't know how to code a var so that it increases by 1 for every 100 damage done to my opponent. I mean..I could code it through a very long process of "this equals that if this and if not, then it equals this and don't do this if that equals this otherwise this will happen and I won't work because that's how I roll and a persistent with a value of 0 will not stop me from adding numbers until I hit the F'ING MOON!!"
Rather, I have been doing just that but it's not working out for me. I always struggle with this type of situation of vars.

Any insight? How would I go about coding this?

This is what I have. Probably not optimized but w/e


Code: 
[State -2, VarSet]
type = VarSet ; Reset the var 
trigger1 = roundstate = [0,1]
v = 20
value = 0
ignorehitpause = 1

[State -2, VarAdd] ; Tracking the damage
type = VarAdd
trigger1 = numtarget
v = 20 
value =  floor(target,gethitvar(damage))  
ignorehitpause = 1  
;persistent = 0

[State -2, VarAdd]
type = VarSet
trigger1 = var(20)  
v = 21
;value = (floor(var(20))/100) * 100 ; This is the value divided and multiplied to return an interval of 100.
value = floor((var(20))/100) ; This is the value divided by 100 and then floored. 
ignorehitpause = 1
persistent = 0

For every 100 dmg the var can increase by 1 or 100!
This doesn't work if the damage inflicted at one time is over 999! :grrr:

I have some comments!

-Just chiming in that (I'm 99.9% sure) the persistent parameter is useless in State -2.  It doesn't look like you are depending on it here, but just pointing it out.

-The code above will total all damage dealt, including damage dealt to helpers or multiple opponents in a team match.  If you need to differentiate between different opponents that would add a bit more complexity.

If you want to exclude damage dealt to helpers, I think you just need to add trigger1 = target,!IsHelper

Code: 
[State -2, VarAdd] ; Tracking the damage
type = VarAdd
trigger1 = numtarget
trigger1 = target,!IsHelper
v = 20 
value =  floor(target,gethitvar(damage))  
ignorehitpause = 1

You know its funny because I tried exactly this. I must not of paid close enough attention because my code was slightly different from this. I had it doing something like floor(var(8) / 100 + 0.5) * 1 or close to that. I was pretty exhausted at the time. I was just trying random things by that point. Regardless, you saved me a lot of pain, time and clarified that I already had the right idea. Thank you!

And also to altoiddealer. I always forget to include small details like that so I appreciate that as well. Thanks a lot.

I'll leave it unsolved as I have yet to try it out and see how I can make this code my own.
Okay I think I understand it as much as I'm going to, now. Thanks a lot once again!
