Larger numbers: In scripts it is possible to generate a representation of an infinite positive or negative number which compares even larger or smaller than the above two floating point limits; Positive infinity 1e39 = "1.#INF" Negative infinity -1e39 = "-1.#INF"

Degrees

Degrees are a poetic licence used to indicate a number returned from functions like acos and asin

It's special properties are that it will always supply a value from 0 to 360

Radians

Scripting vs Addons

Integers and Floats

Note that unlike config.cpp's (addons), a Number in scripting language is ANY numeric entity. Floats, or integers. It is NOT the same as a config's Integer or Float. Number covers both types.

Booleans

Note also, unlike config.cpp's, Boolean is a real type in scripting language. In addons, it is a poetic licence for a zero/non zero Integer
