So I am trying to make a depth counter and I need the depth to increase by one every time the players Y axis is increased or decreased by 6 studs. Everything else works.
Ignore where it subtracts the big number, that is so the depth says 0 when spawned in.
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
while wait() do
local playerDepth = math.abs(math.floor(player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position.Y - 16417.1))
script.Parent.Text = "Depth: "..playerDepth
end
Simply divide the number by six and get the floor. For example:
52
We divide this by six, so it tells us how many times we've increased our distance by six.
52 / 6
This gives us 8.6666_.
Now, since this is almost always gonna be a non-integer, we take the floor to get a nice round number.
floor(52 / 6)
This gives us 8.
Lua-u version
local value = <whatever value you want to measure>
local increment = <whatever increment you want, 6 in your case>
local result = math.floor(value, increment)
If you want to you can also take the absolute value of your result, so that the number is always positive.
