Square Root

Almost unbelievably, Oblivion does not include a square root function. Therefore one must use this code to get the square root of a number.

This uses Newton-Raphson approximation, and gives accuracy to two decimal places for numbers less than or equal to 100. Adding more steps to it increases accuracy very quickly.

This is a Stage Function, and as such must be created as a Quest Stage of a global script and called as a function. Alternatively, however, it would not be difficult to incorporate this code into your script directly.

The list of variables you will need:

input
SqRt

You are free to rename either, but remember to change the function code.

;originally supplied by Galerion
set SqRt to input/2
set SqRt to ( SqRt + ( input / SqRt ) ) / 2
set SqRt to ( SqRt + ( input / SqRt ) ) / 2
set SqRt to ( SqRt + ( input / SqRt ) ) / 2
set SqRt to ( SqRt + ( input / SqRt ) ) / 2
