If statement to Vector3?
I tried creating something that shrinks, it shrinks but i want to break the loop when the mesh scale is at 0,0,0 this is my script;
1 | while true do |
2 | script.Parent.Part.Mesh.Scale = script.Parent.Part.Mesh.Scale - Vector3.new(.01, .01, .01) |
3 | wait(.1) |
4 | if script.Parent.Part.Mesh.Scale == Vector3.new(0, 0, 0) then |
5 | break |
6 | end |
7 | end |
obviously the error is
1 | if script.Parent.Part.Mesh.Scale == Vector3.new(0, 0, 0) then |
pretty much my question is how do i make an if statement to vector3?

have you used the `for` loop? woodengop 1134 — 10y

Your IF statement is correct, but, unfortunately, when you're lowering the scale, it won't low .01 a time, it would low 0.0100000(something). So it will NEVER reach zero.
So where you have
1 | if script.Parent.Part.Mesh.Scale == Vector3.new(0, 0, 0) then |
You should have
1 | if script.Parent.Part.Mesh.Scale <= Vector3.new(0, 0, 0) then |
So, it will break the script when the scale is equal or lower than ZERO.
But it would leave a little mesh. So, after the loop. it's time to set the scale to zero.
1 | script.Parent.Part.Mesh.Scale = Vector3.new(0, 0, 0) |
Rewritten script
1 | while true do |
2 | script.Parent.Part.Mesh.Scale = script.Parent.Part.Mesh.Scale - Vector3.new(.01, .01, .01) |
3 | wait(.1) |
4 | if script.Parent.Part.Mesh.Scale <= Vector3.new(0, 0, 0) then |
5 | break |
6 | end |
7 | end |
8 | script.Parent.Part.Mesh.Scale = Vector3.new(0,0,0) |
But this script doesn't work. I had made changes to it
1 | while script.Parent.Part.Mesh.Scale.X > 0 and script.Parent.Part.Mesh.Scale.Y > 0 and script.Parent.Part.Mesh.Scale.Z > 0 do |
2 | script.Parent.Part.Mesh.Scale = script.Parent.Part.Mesh.Scale - Vector3.new(.003,.003,.003) --increase or reduce it like you want |
3 | wait() -- fluid shrinking |
4 | end |
5 | script.Parent.Part.Mesh.Scale = Vector3.new(0,0,0) -- it will force the total shrinking of the part |

.01 and 0.010000000 are both the same decimals since the both them in Hundredths decimal place. UserOnly20Characters 890 — 10y

What he's trying to say is that you'e creating a float value by subtracting Vectors. Therefore the value you're checking to be equivilant to 0 isn't ever going to be exactly 0.. it'll be like .001 or -.0000001. And even the smallest margin of error makes it so your conditional does not return true. Goulstem 8144 — 10y
