local a = script.Parent
for i=1, 10 do
a.Transparency = a.Transparency+0.1
wait(0.2)
end
print("The transparency of the brick is " .. tostring(a.Transparency))
Output: The transparency of the brick is 1.0000001192093
Is it possible to tell the computer to round the value rather than have all these significant figures?
Using math.floor() you can round Down whatever you wish to inside the parenthesis.
There is a simple method to allow it to round to the nearest whole number though. Simply add .5 to whatever you wish to round up within the math.floor method.
Example:
print(math.floor(2.2 + .5)) -- This should print 2
print(math.floor(2.8 + .5)) -- This should print 3
Using your script:
local a = script.Parent
for i=1, 10 do
a.Transparency = a.Transparency+0.1
wait(0.2)
end
print("The transparency of the brick is " .. tostring(math.floor(a.Transparency + .5)))
Let me know if you have any other questions!

Makes sense. Also you can use math.ceil() to round up. Thanks for the explanation and link!
No problem, good luck in your projects!

doesnt math.floor() have something to do with that?
also i've never had this problem, but i've never used tostring, so maybe remove just tostring and see what happens.
You're right. I just searched the wiki. There's math.floor() and math.ceil(). Is there a function that rounds based on the following significant figure though rather than to the highest integer or lowest integer?
