A bit of math help ^^

[nazer1290]

local function AnimateNum(x, tx, time)
	if (x == tx) then return tx end
	// Define
	local fps = (1 / FrameTime())
	local scale = math.abs(tx-x) / (fps * time) // Help please? I tried different things like this but I'm stuck.
	//Scale
		if (x > tx) then
			x = ((x - scale) >= tx) and (x - scale) or tx
		elseif (x < tx) then
			x = ((x + scale) <= tx) and (x + scale) or tx
		end
	//return
	return x
end

So I've been trying to animate my custom GUI stuff, and I'm trying to figure out how to get the amount to scale up or down depending on framerate - the above function is run every frame. Argument x is starting coordinate; Argument xt is the target coordinate; and time is the amount of time it should take to go from x to tx.

Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Are you trying to scale the menu, or just move it?
In that case: [url]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Panel/MoveTo[/url]

I'd like to use the function for both, as it's basically pixels per second I'm trying to get. my GUI elements are drawn using surface; no derma stuff.

so you want it to transition smoothly with MoveTo basically? i think theres a library for that
