(Solved) Use ROUND with DISTANCETOPOINT...

[Russell]

Hello team!!

I'm trying to ROUND a large decimal value obtained from DistanteToPoint:

self.Object1:GetPosition():DistanceToPoint(self.Object2:GetPosition())

This is my line to obtain the distance that i show on screen with DrawText. But i don't know how encode or use Round() function to Round the value obtained from DistanceToPoint.

I imagine it will be a simple line, but boy I am unable to code it.

Many thanks!!

Maybe so?

Pseudocode:

local distance=self.Object1:GetPosition():DistanceToPoint(self.Object2:GetPosition())
local distancei=math.floor(pos)--or Math:Round(pos)

context:DrawText("Distance: "..tostring(distancei),2,26)

 

String format: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/57950030/wow-rounding-to-two-decimal-places-in-lua

Here's an example using all the options: string.format("%x6.2f", 2.264)

From left to right:

% marks the start
x tells it to pad right with xs
6 tells it the whole thing should be 5 characters long
.2 tells it to round (or pad with 0s) to 2 decimal places
So, the result would be xx2.26

Many thanks!! Finally works for me in my code:

--Declaramos y Guardamos la distancia entre los 2 objetos que nos interesan.
local Distancia= self.Objeto1:GetPosition():DistanceToPoint(self.Objeto2:GetPosition())
--Declaramos y redondeamos la distancia anterior para quitar los decimales.
local DistanciaRedonda=Math:Round(Distancia)

"Math:" was the command I needed to get "Round()" working on "Distancia" variable.

Many thanks!!
