Length

Math

The Value Repeat node takes in a number value and the length of the range of the output, then returns what the input would be if the number line were to "repeat" after the length value. For example, if N is 27 and Length is 10, the output will be 7, as if 27 had "looped" past 10 twice, returning to 0 every time, and was only left with the remaining 7. This is similar to the Value Mod node.

This node will always return a number between 0 (inclusive) and Length (exclusive), regardless of whether N is positive or negative. (see image of the chart explaining the side effects). Using the Value Mod node will give different results.

Inputs

N (Pseudo-Generic)

The number value we are checking.

Length (Pseudo-Generic)

The expected range for our number to be in. If the number we gave rolls over, it will wrap around this length.

Outputs

* (Pseudo-Generic)

The result of the repeated value.
