Simple math command

This is a simple math command that I made simply because it seemed quite handy.

It lets you do a few basic things any calculator would let you do but the main benefit of this was for the people who have super low-end computers, a couple people on my server lagged like crazy and often crashed their entire system when alt-tabbing out so I made this command so they didn’t have to

Im not that great at coding lua so if you could improve it do post a reply :smiley:

Install:

  • paste it into any client script and restart that resource

how to use:

  • /sum type value1 value2 (e.g /sum add 10 10 - you will get 20 obviously)
  • /sum random

			math.random(); math.random(); math.random();
			num = math.random(1000000,9000000) -- got to make it authentic-ish
			TriggerEvent('chatMessage', "The random number ", {128, 1280, 128}, "SA" ..num.. "2018") --we use this for Gun serial numbers on our server
		else

you want to do this to make it so the number is always random

math.randomseed(os.time())
math.random(); math.random(); math.random();
num = math.random(1000000,9000000) -- got to make it authentic-ish
3

Now add expression evaluation/parsing and order of operations :smiley:

The os.time() didn’t work so i used GetGameTimer() instead, There likely is a better alternative to what I’ve done.

math.randomseed(GetGameTimer())
math.random(); math.random(); math.random();
num = math.random(1000000,9000000) -- got to make it authentic-ish

Could you give me a small example of this?

Might be a tricky one, but a nice challenge. Something like this:

A)

/math “2^(1+3*6) / 2”

Could get converted into singulair instructions:

B)

local a = mul(3, 6)
a = add(a, 1)
a = pow(a, 2)
a = div(a, 2)
a = 262144

Might be a nice challenge for you, evaluate the expression (a) and break it down into instructions (b).
Note that you have to do order of operations correctly.

Only works on server side scripts.
