Square Roots [Solved]
So, lua supports math functions. 5+5, 9/3, was well as trigonomic functions (found in the GC scripts). Is there any way to take the square root of a number/variable?

Re: Square Roots
It would probably be "sqrt(INSERT#HERELOLOLSOIQ%5)".

Code: Select all
number = 5
if number == 5 then
number = sqrt(number)
print(number)
endCode: Select all

Re: Square Roots
I'm not a programmer but it looks like you should be using math.sqrt according to THIS, THIS and THIS.
