Math & Task Module

The math module handles numerical helpers, while task covers timing and pauses in scripts.

Math Module

Function	Returns	Description
`math.random(min, max)`	`number`	Returns a random integer between `min` and `max`.
`math.round(n)`	`number`	Rounds `n` to the nearest whole number.
`math.abs(n)`	`number`	Returns the absolute value of `n`.
`math.pi`	`number`	The constant value of pi.

lau-compiler.exe

varol chance = math.random(1, 100)
print("Random Number: " + chance)

varol amount = 12.7
print("Rounded Value: " + math.round(amount))

OUTPUT:

Random Number: 42 Rounded Value: 13

Task Module

Function	Returns	Description
`task.wait(seconds)`	`void`	Pauses the script for the specified amount of time.
`task.clock()`	`number`	Returns high-precision CPU time.
`task.time()`	`number`	Returns the total time the game has been running.
`task.date()`	`string`	Returns a formatted string of the current date and time.

lau-compiler.exe

print("Step 1...")
task.wait(1)
print("Step 2...")

OUTPUT:

Step 1... Step 2...

Timing Example

varol startTime = task.clock()

for i = 1, 10 do
    drone.move(Enum.Direction.East)
    task.wait(0.5)
end

varol elapsed = task.clock() - startTime
print("Task took " + elapsed + " seconds.")
