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?
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
Yeah man, you got it. Thank you

Tell me if that's any better
This doesn't make sense. Do you mind giving a better example... I have never heard of this term.
I'll try yeah. haha
"for every 1/5 25 is subtracted from a variable" What? Like every 1/5th seconds? Elaborate please.
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?
