What is the best way to get the absolute value of a number?
I have a script that works:
1 | X = math.random(-10,10) --this doesn't have to be math.random |
2 | if X < 0 then |
3 | X = X*-1 |
4 | end |
5 | print (X) |
But I'm wondering if there is a better way, especially if I'm trying to get the absolute value of multiple numbers, possibly vector 3.

So I just put X = math.abs(X) ? Is that right? If so that was just what I was looking for! OBenjOne 190 — 6y
