Time under 1 sec get rounded to 1

Hi!
I am making this game, where I need it to handle times under 1 sec in the timer, and it gets the time from a table.
I can display the number right, but the timer will not use it as ex. 0.6 - then it will use 1.
I use it to destroy an actor after a short time (between 0.35 and 1 sec), but it is always about 1 sec.
And when I use numbers under 0.5 (0.49 ex.) it will display it for "0" sec - a very short flash.
Can anyone tell me how to do this?
I have also tried to make it as a rule. When self.time = "time from table" then destroy, but then it takes about 1 sec again before the actor disappear.

Hi Chris, change your table attributes from integer to real, that should do the trick. (Integers are used for whole numbers, real used for numbers with fractions).
-I might have found the answer - I just need to try it out.
OK, please check back; I'd be interested in what else it was then... :-)
