NWScript Math. taking the cube root....

[Legacy_henesua]

               Has anyone found a method to take the cubed root of something? (root 3)
I see a square root function, but no other way to handle a larger root. Root 3 is really handy as it allows the kind of curve I want for a function I am running.

Anyone skilled enough in math to be able to help me cube root a number using a custom function?

               Use the Pow function:

// Maths operation: fValue is raised to the power of fExponent
// * Returns zero if fValue ==0 and fExponent <0
float pow(float fValue, float fExponent)


The Cube root of  X is the same thing as X to the 1/3 Power.   So to get the cube root of X you would use.

Pow ( x, 1.0/3.0);
