math⚓︎
This library is an interface to the standard C math library. This library has been further extended by MWSE. The functions implemented by MWSE are listed here. It provides all its functions inside the table math.
Properties⚓︎
math.epsilon⚓︎
The machine epsilon available for double-precision numbers. This is the difference between 1.0 and the next representable value using lua numbers.
Returns:
result(number)
math.fepsilon⚓︎
The machine epsilon available for single-precision numbers. This is the difference between 1.0 and the next representable value for many Morrowind structures.
Returns:
result(number)
math.fhuge⚓︎
The machine maximum available value for single-precision numbers. This is the maximum representable value for any floating-point Morrowind structures.
Returns:
result(number)
math.nfhuge⚓︎
The machine minimum available value for single-precision numbers. This is the minimum representable value for any floating-point Morrowind structures.
Returns:
result(number)
Functions⚓︎
math.clamp⚓︎
Returns a value, limited by upper and lower bounds.
local result = math.clamp(value, min, max)
Parameters:
value(number)min(number)max(number)
Returns:
result(number)
math.isclose⚓︎
This function compares a and b and returns true if they are close together. This can be useful when comparing floating-point numbers with some degree of tolerance.
local result = math.isclose(a, b, absoluteTolerance, relativeTolerance)
Parameters:
a(number): First value.b(number): Second value.absoluteTolerance(number): Default:math.epsilon. The absolute difference allowed between the two numbers. A value of 0.01 will only allow the values to differ by 0.01.relativeTolerance(number): Default:1e-09. The relative difference allowed between the two numbers. A value of 0.01 will only allow the values to differ by 1%.
Returns:
result(number)
math.lerp⚓︎
Performs linear interpolation between values v0 and v1. Returns a value that is t percent between them.
local result = math.lerp(v0, v1, t)
Parameters:
v0(number): First value.v1(number): Second value.t(number): The decimal percentage used to calculate a point between v0 and v1.
Returns:
result(number)
math.remap⚓︎
Returns a value, scaled from expected values [lowIn, highIn] to [lowOut, highOut].
For example, a value of 7 remapped from [0,10] to [0,100] would be 70.
local result = math.remap(value, lowIn, highIn, lowOut, highOut)
Parameters:
value(number)lowIn(number)highIn(number)lowOut(number)highOut(number)
Returns:
result(number)
math.round⚓︎
Rounds a number to a given count of digits.
local result = math.round(value, digits)
Parameters:
value(number)digits(number): Default:0.
Returns:
result(number)
