How to make a solid number on a speed counter?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello Everyone!

I am currently making a speed counter prototype, but I need it to round to the nearest number, except without having it go to the next number. For example, I want to make 15.92 into just 15, not 16 or 15.92.

If anybody can help please do. (Also this isn’t the official UI design, just a placeholder)

You’ll be wanting to use math.round(number)

I just need to know where in the script, because I do not have any experience in the math section in roblox.
Heres the script:

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local char = player.Character
local humanoidrootpart = char:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")

while true do
	wait()
	if humanoidrootpart == nil then return end
	script.Parent.ScreenGui.TextLabel.Text = humanoidrootpart.Velocity.Magnitude.." studs/s"
end

Edit: Wait a second, I think I found it out.

You want to round this number here.

I don’t think it’s working. Maybe I am doing it the wrong way? Here’s the updated script:

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local char = player.Character
local humanoidrootpart = char:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")

math.round(humanoidrootpart.Velocity.Magnitude)

while true do
	wait()
	if humanoidrootpart == nil then return end
	script.Parent.ScreenGui.TextLabel.Text = humanoidrootpart.Velocity.Magnitude.." studs/s"
end

math.round actually doesn’t change the original result, it creates a new one which you can either save to a variable or use in-line:

script.Parent.ScreenGui.TextLabel.Text = math.round(humanoidrootpart.Velocity.Magnitude).." studs/s"
