Decrease Slower

I’m trying to create a system where a number decreases slowly based on a variable. However, I’ve encountered a problem where it works as expected when the number is small (e.g., 0.1), but when the number is larger (e.g., 100), it decreases much faster. I want both small and large numbers to decrease at the same rate. Here’s the script for context:

local part1 = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("MainEntity"):WaitForChild("Ent")
local cam = workspace.CurrentCamera

game["Run Service"].RenderStepped:Connect(function()
	local part2 = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.HumanoidRootPart
	local distance = (part1.Position - part2.Position).Magnitude

	local strength = 100

	local dist = strength *100 - distance / 0.1

	local max = math.max(dist, 0)
	print(max)
end)

If you use the distance of 2 objects then the further away the 2 objects are the higher the variable “distance” will be. If you want it to decrease at the same rate don’t use distance; just use a constant number. But if you use a constant number with RenderStepped() then you will have to times it by delta time so it moves at the same rate for all frame rates.

So, for context, like this?

game["Run Service"].RenderStepped:Connect(function(delta)
	local distance = (part1.Position - part2.Position).Magnitude
	
	local realDist = dist * delta -- Multiplying it

Also, how would your “constant number” ideia work?

if you want a constant speed you need a constant number, and distance wont be constant (from what i can tell in your script).

local speedOfCamConst = 10 --You can change this
local part1 = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("MainEntity"):WaitForChild("Ent")
local cam = workspace.CurrentCamera

game["Run Service"].RenderStepped:Connect(function(dt)
	
	local speedOfCam = speedOfCamConst * dt -- this is the relative speed so it wont go slower/faster depending on frame rate
	
	local part2 = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.HumanoidRootPart
	local distance = (part1.Position - part2.Position).Magnitude

	local strength = 100

	--local dist = strength *100 - distance / 0.1
	
	local dist = strength *100 - speedOfCamConst / 0.1 
	
	local max = math.max(dist, 0) --this will return a constant value
	print(max)
end)

However im not really sure what you are trying to achieve, as i cant see the full script but i think the extract i sent is what youre trying to achieve

I don’t have a complete script yet, but I’m working on a feature where the camera shakes more when you get closer to a part and shakes less as you move farther away.
