Is there a way I can create a Scale Factor in coding?
If you learned Scale Factors in Algebra then you should be familiar with this term.
But anyways, my idea is to use math like where you have 2 fractions. But you put this into like an 'if' statement.
Like for every 1/5 25 is subtracted from a variable.
Does that make sense?

It makes no sense because your question is rendered completely differently on everyone else's browser. Please edit your question and preview it to make sure we see what you mean. Unclear 1776 — 9y

"for every 1/5 25 is subtracted from a variable" What? Like every 1/5th seconds? Elaborate please. Goulstem 8144 — 9y

so like for every 1 subtracted from a variable. I'll use 'a', then 5 is subtracted from, say, 'b'. For every 1 subtracted from 'a', there is 5 subtracted from 'b'. Is that any clearer? NAWESOME14 40 — 9y

I'm having trouble understanding exactly what you want but is it something like this?
local a, b = 100, 100
local aScale, bScale = 1, 5
local function Add(amount)
a = a + amount*aScale
b = b + amount*bScale
end
local function Subtract(amount)
a = a - amount*aScale
b = b - amount*bScale
end
Using this, if you called Add(2), then
a = 100 + 2 * 1 = 102
b = 100 + 2 * 5 = 110
