4 by 4 Part Math

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

So, I’m trying to create a screen adorner. So I have 6 screens and they’re all 4 by 4 size. I’m trying to get the relative position. So I use

print(workspace.NScreens.S1.actualscreen.CFrame:ToObjectSpace(workspace.NScreens.S6.actualscreen.CFrame).Position)```
Which would say "20, 0, 0".
I need the script to know on how many screens there on the 'x-axis'.  
So there should say that there are 6 screens on the x-axis. I don't know if this makes sense since its 1 am and I'm extremely tired.

You could loop the model then get their y axis then store it on a table:

local tbl: { [yAxis]: { BasePart } } = {}

local model = script.Parent

for _, object: BasePart in ipairs(model:GetChildren()) do
	if not object:IsA("BasePart") then
		continue
	end

	local yPosition = math.floor(object.Position.Y)
	local yAxisTable = tbl[yPosition]

	if yAxisTable == nil then
		tbl[yPosition] = {}
		yAxisTable = tbl[yPosition]
	end

	table.insert(yAxisTable, object)
end

I’m not sure if this worked or not since it doesn’t print anything out. This is my script and my way on getting relative position.

xtable={}
ytable={}
for i,v in pairs(workspace.NScreens:GetChildren()) do
	--Get relative position from the first screen
	local xval = workspace.NScreens.S1.actualscreen.CFrame:ToObjectSpace(v.actualscreen.CFrame).Position.X
	local yval = workspace.NScreens.S1.actualscreen.CFrame:ToObjectSpace(v.actualscreen.CFrame).Position.Y
	
	local positive=math.abs(yval)
	table.insert(xtable, xval)
	table.insert(ytable, positive)
end
-- Get the highest number in the table
local highestx = math.max(table.unpack(xtable))
local highesty = math.max(table.unpack(ytable))

print(highestx)
print(highesty)

for i,v in pairs(workspace.NScreens:GetChildren()) do
	--Start putting frames into the screen
	--This part doesn't excatly work.
	wait (0.01)
	print(v.Name)
	local fframe = Instance.new("Frame")
	fframe.Parent = v.actualscreen.SurfaceGui
	
	local xlol = workspace.NScreens.S1.actualscreen.CFrame:ToObjectSpace(v.actualscreen.CFrame).Position.X
	local ylol = workspace.NScreens.S1.actualscreen.CFrame:ToObjectSpace(v.actualscreen.CFrame).Position.Y
	print("X = "..math.round(xlol))
	print("Y = "..math.round(ylol))
	fframe.Size = UDim2.new(xlol/4, 0, ylol/4, 0)
	fframe.Position = UDim2.new(-xlol/4, 0, ylol/4, 0)
end

What kind of statement is that? You do know you can just print it yourself, right? It’s probably time for you to sleep if you can’t even process this.

print(tbl)

I know how to print stuff. It’s really easy. I knew what to print.
What a surprise. Nothing happened! That’s what I meant when it doesn’t print anything out

its a folder full of models anyway so it wont work

Of course it wont work because that is just an example and you have to modify it yourself.

local tbl: { [yAxis]: { BasePart } } = {}

local model = script.Parent

for _, object: BasePart in ipairs(model:GetChildren()) do
	if not object:IsA("Model") then
		continue
	end

	local screen: BasePart = object:FindFirstChild("Screen")

	if not screen then
		continue
	end

	local yPosition = math.floor(screen.Position.Y)
	local yAxisTable = tbl[yPosition]

	if yAxisTable == nil then
		tbl[yPosition] = {}
		yAxisTable = tbl[yPosition]
	end

	table.insert(yAxisTable, object)
end
