Abs ????

What means the Shortcut "Abs" ? I have seen this in many Examplefiles.

For Example:
"PMO"Object is standing on ground
+Abs ( GetXVelocity("PMO")) >70

Maybe its a silly question ...... don't hit me :)

It converts negative numbers to positive (and leaves positive numbers untouched):

Code:

---

Abs (-10) = 10
Abs (10) = 10
