How could I shrink/grow a part depending on a variable

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

So lets say I have a value that ranges from 1-100 and a part that changes size depending on that value
I want the part to be 25% its original size at 1 and 100% its size at 100
I also don’t want the part to start floating so I would need to decrease and increase its Y position value depending on that value as well
Where do I even start?

Why not use TweenService? It kinda kewl.

#3

I dont even know what math I need to convert a 100-1 value to 100-25

#4

Its not to shrink it dynamically because the value decreases and increases

#5

and it depends on external factors that are undeterminable

#6

My best thinking is :
Make a statement if the Value is 1 or greater than that, save a Part.Size value first then use tweenservice to tween Part size.

local part = script.Parent
local Value = part:FindFirstChild("Value")
local Debounce = true

part.Touched:Connect(function(Hit)
if Debounce == true then
	local Humanoid = Hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
	if Humanoid then
		print("Succes")
		Value.Value += 1
			Debounce = false
			task.wait(3)
			Debounce = true
		end
	end
end)

Value.Changed:Connect(function()
	if Value.Value >= 1 then
		part.Size = part.Size / 2 -- rate...Maybe? XD
		print("b")
	end
end)

very simple script. Don’t use it lol.

Well since 0.25 is 25% and 1 is 100%
you could use a little bit of math to do it including the lerp formula (a + (b - a) * x)

local function convert(a, num)
local num = 0.25 + (1 - 0.25) * (num * 0.01)

return a * num
end

print(convert(1, 0))
-- 0.25

print(convert(1, 100))
-- 1

Not sure if i this is what you wanted but i hope it helps

so that can convert 1-100 to 25-100?

#10

Hmm, not exactly but it converts 0-100 to 25-100
