Altitude / Height in KM

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I couldnt find a good answer on the devforum about this, so ill ask myself.

How would I get the altitude in KM from a number with 1 decimal point (like 1.4)?

This below is not accurate at all.
roundNumber(HeightS, 1) round the height a number with 1 decimal point

      local HeightS = Part.Value.Position.Y
      local AltKM = roundNumber(HeightS, 1) * 20000

multiply it by 20000 first, then round, instead of the other way around

Ill try, I hope it will work.
