Hey guys,
Probably a silly question, but is there a simple way to check two numbers, find out which one is the smallest, and the result return that number (the smallest)?
If so, how would I go about doing it? I've look at value comparisons in the dictionary but I'm not sure what is the best way to go about it.

Use these:
Code:
script, min, a, b, begin
if (a << b) then (return (a)) else (return (b))
end
script, max, a, b, begin
if (a >> b) then (return (a)) else (return (b))
end
if (a << b) then (return (a)) else (return (b))
end
script, max, a, b, begin
if (a >> b) then (return (a)) else (return (b))
end

If TMC weren't such a wimp, he'd post versions of those functions that take more than two parameters

Thanks, and it seems to work great. However, further on down the script I need to compare three numbers and once again picking out the smallest one to use. I've been beating my head against the wall trying to figure it out off and on today, so any help would be appreciated.

Using TMC's scripts, for finding the smallest of three numbers you can use this:
min(min(a, b), c)
And so on, for however many numbers you want to compare.
min(min(a, b), c)
And so on, for however many numbers you want to compare.

Thanks,
I didn't do it quite like that, but what I have right now seems to be working anyways.
