Hey Scripters, I can't find any information on such a simple question.
I need to round the exact values of my variables. The reason because, I need to get the X, Y, and Z positions of a part, and then get them a second time after .1 seconds. If the two calculations are similar (ie; the part is near stationary,) then an event will fire.
Due to the physics engine, the exact value of X, Y, and Z, added together, will constantly change, even if the part is seemingly "stationary." The values tend to rapidly change after the one hundredth of a decimal place, so I ideally need to round my values to the nearest one hundredth.
How do I round values?

math.floor(x) will round x down
math.ceil(x) will round x up
math.floor(x + 0.5) will round x |

number = 1.543565
print(round(number, 2))
# outputs 1.54 |

I would thank you Beatable, if I was using Python, but I'm using Lua... Lmao

roblox uses lua
if you asked on a scripting forum on roblox, which uses lua, it's pretty clear you're asking for lua |
|
|
No where on this subforum rules or op's thread does it say anything about lua. She could be talking about Ruby for all i know. |

she's talking about objective-c |
|
|
rules say for roblox scripting dummy

no, there is no way shes not talking about baisc |
|
|
on second thought it seems as she is talking about go |

If you want to round to a decimal place you can do this:
math.ceil(Value * 10) / 10 |

1) Why are there still replies here? Lmao
2) @Beatable; In my original post, I said:
"Due to the physics engine, the exact value of X, Y, and Z, added together, will constantly change, even if the part is seemingly "stationary.""
Last time I checked, Python coding from scratch, didn't have a built-in physics engine. It's not like I just asked how to round a value, and nothing else.
