This is the modulus. The scientific definition is that it will return the remainder of a division. So if you divide 6/2=3, it will return 0, if you divide 5/2 it will return 0.5. This can be used to trigger events in a cycle, define if a number is odd or even and a few other things. So if you for instance have a formula like:

x=timeToFrames(time)%70

Your object would increase its position from 0 to 70 until it reaches frame 70. At this point position and frame value are identical and the formula will return 0, thus resetting it. From fram 71 to frame 140 the cycle will then repeat and so on.

Hi
Thanks Mylenium!
That’s a very good example to explain it.:)
