Checking a range

ThePickleTickle

Hi quick question.

Is there a preexisting function that will check if a value is within a limited range of another value? Or is the best way just to do an IF statement with 2 conditions using the max and min value through a custom function?

Thanks

You can use the clamp function to ensure a value remains between two values: https://fuzearena.com/help/view/clamp

Thanks for the reply pianofire, I'm not looking to restrict the first value, only check if it has passed through the range

vinicity

Check if the clamped value differs from the original?

The answer might be obvious, but how would I check that? as i dont understand how the clamp output helps me do that

It would make sense to just use two conditions in an if statement:

if value >= min and value <= max then /* stuff */ endif

Or if you'd like to use clamp for this:

if clamp(value, min, max) == value then /* stuff */ endif

Or you could write your own function using either implementation:

function isInRange(value, min, max)
return value >= min and value <= max

if isInRange(value, min, max) then /* stuff */ endif

Pb__ thanks for clarifying

I slept on it and when I woke up realised what pianofire and vinicity meant instantly.. guess my brain was just a little fried yesterday

Thank you all
