What research did you do and did you find anything?

[grand marsh]

trying to search smth but i dont get it

like when i use it and how

[indigo heath]

if you want to check the state of something

local x = 5
if x == 5 then
   print("x does equal to 5")
end

else

local x = 3
if x == 5 then
   print("x does equal to 5")
else
  print("not equal to 5")
end

o alr ithink i never did ==

like why there is local x = 5 and not local x = script.parent

[indigo heath]

A basic video on if statements should have taught you that

[indigo heath]

I'm using 5 as an example

[grand marsh]

im gonna go and learn it now i guess

[indigo heath]

script.Parent refers to the parent of script

if a script was under ServerScriptService, script.Parent would be ServerScriptService

i learned this from BrawlDev

== is to see if something is equal in an if statement

= is to set something as something

for example if x = 5 then will not work

same as x == 5

they gotta go in the appropriate place
