  1. Comparing a number sequence

  2. Can’t figure out how to compare it

2

what do you mean?

if Number1 > Number2 then
3

You can’t compare numbersequences like that, it errors

4

Here are a few links you can use:

5

You don’t use the actual Number1 and Number2. Use the real number, such as if 3 < 5 then – If 3 is less than 5 then do so and so…

6

I know, you cant compare a numbersequence it errors…

7

What is the error that you are getting when using this method?

8

What are you trying to compare in the number sequence?

local NumberSequence1 = NumberSequence.new{
	NumberSequenceKeypoint.new(0, 0), -- (time, value)
	NumberSequenceKeypoint.new(.5, .75),
	NumberSequenceKeypoint.new(1, 1)
}

local NumberSequence2 = NumberSequence.new{
	NumberSequenceKeypoint.new(0, 0), 
	NumberSequenceKeypoint.new(.5, .75),
	NumberSequenceKeypoint.new(1, 1)
}

local NumberSequence3 = NumberSequence.new{
	NumberSequenceKeypoint.new(0, 0),
	NumberSequenceKeypoint.new(.1, .4),
	NumberSequenceKeypoint.new(1, 5)
}

function areSequencesEqual(sequence1, sequence2)
	for i, keypoint in pairs(sequence1.Keypoints) do 
		local keypoint2 = sequence2.Keypoints[i] 
		--checking each keypoint one by one(we don't need to compare time and value, Roblox does it for us)
		if not keypoint2 or keypoint ~= keypoint2 then
			return false 
		end 
	end
	--in order for them to be equal, they must have the same length
	--this check is added in case sequence1 keypoints are less than sequence2 causing some keypoints to pass unchecked
	return (#sequence1.Keypoints == #sequence2.Keypoints)
end

print(areSequencesEqual(NumberSequence1, NumberSequence2)) --true
print(areSequencesEqual(NumberSequence2, NumberSequence3)) --false
