can anyone help out and tell me why this code doesn't display right?

it is supposed to be a healthbar based on health percentage

send_to_char("[",ch);
int value = 100 * (ch->hit/ch->max_hit) ;
                          for (start = 1; start <= 100; start++ )

                                {
                          if (start <= value )
                                        send_to_char("|",ch);
                                  else
                                        send_to_char(" ",ch);
                                }
                    send_to_char("]  \r",ch);

it seems to only display blank unless I am at 100% health.

it should display similar to this at 50%

i tried it with float value.. still same outcome

send_to_char("[",ch);
float value = 100.0 * (ch->hit/ch->max_hit) ;
                          for (start = 1; start <= 100; start++ )

                                {
                          if (start <= value )
                                        send_to_char("|",ch);
                                  else
                                        send_to_char(" ",ch);
                                }
                    send_to_char("]  \r",ch);

edit: i am aware that the bar is too large... focused on getting it working before making it look good

Nick Gammon helped out... the equation would not work unless it was changed as such

float value = 100.0 * ((float) ch->hit / (float) ch->max_hit) ;
