Cannot implicitly convert double to float

Here is a screenshot of some errors I am getting:

Here is a screenshot of that part of the code. I am sure this is a newbie c# issue rather than an NT issue but could use a little help:

Hello swcooke,

The screenshot of the code does not provide line numbers. Was this a screenshot taken of the NinjaScript Editor?

How did you take this screenshot? Was this with the Windows Snipping Tool?

I am unable to match the error with a specific line.

However, the issue is that somewhere you are assigning a float value to a double variable type or vice versa.

What are the lines causing the error?

Sorry about that. Here is another screenshot that shows the line numbers:

Hello swcooke,

The error message references line 99.

start.X = x - barWidth * 0.5f;

We can see that the value being assigned to the .X of the start object is a float because of the 0.5f.

However, I am not able to see what the start object is declared as. Its highly likely that the .X property of the start object is a double. This would mean you are trying to assign a float value to a double property type which will fail.

You would need to cast this as a double.
