Once again, an extremely apparent novice Lua question:

I can't seem to find how to convert a floating point number to an integer.

if x = 7.34934 I want to convert x to 7

Also if x = 7.9348, I still want to convert it to 7.

Any ideas on how I can do this, did I miss the function somewhere?

Use the function math.floor. (math.floor rounds down, and math.ceiling rounds up.)
