I need to add tolerance in coding, but I don't know how.
For example something like "if x == 1 +-5 then bla bla bla end"

Please help! I'll try and explain it better if ye don't understand me.

So you're looking for a range. Like if x is between 1+5 and 1-5 do something?

If that's the case you have to have two checks. One that verifies x is above the lower border and another verifying x below the upper border, like this:


if x >= 1-5 and x<= 1+5 then
   --do stuff
end
