Hi guys,

This might be a simple one to some people be to me…:frowning:

Could someone please explain in total idiot terms what this means and what it does in script. Math.abs(x). I know it returns an absulote value, but why and what does this absolute value do??

Thanks for any help guys (and remember - idiot terms :thumb:)
