This function encapsulates a formula representing the just positive half of a sine wave. Especially, unlike a standard absolute sine function, the returns a smooth transition towards the negative end. That is, in a range when values increase in a direction, this function returns smoothly as the sine wave reaches its peak or bottom. Compare Sinus Graphs for math.absin
Syntax
float math.absin(float x = π, float y = 0, float amplitude = 1, float period = 0)
Required Arguments
- x: This parameter is sine of x (assumed to be in radians).
- y: This parameter is represents the initial value of the function.
- amplitude: This parameter is the length of the sine wave to its peak.
- period: This parameter is controls how many units it takes for the sine wave to complete one full loops.

Function Sourcefunction math.absin(x, y, amplitude, period) return (type(y) == "number" and y or 0)+((((math.sin(((type(x) == "number" and x or math.pi)-0.785)*(2+(type(period) == "number" and period or 0)))+1)/2))*(type(amplitude) == "number" and amplitude or 1)); end
Returns
Returns float value in any case.
