More than 1 "If"?
Can You do more than 1 if and elseif? Not really much to my description but can you do that though?

You can use multiple 'elseif' statements for an 'if' statement, however, you can only use one 'else' for an 'if' statement; The 'else' keyword is kind of like an 'if-all-else-fails-then', the 'elseif' keyword is kind of like 'if-this-doesn't-work-and-another-does-then'. TheeDeathCaster 2368 — 9y

Please attempt to actually try this yourself before asking here:
An if statement is limited to one if and one else, but you can have any number of elseifs:
if COND then
--code
elseif OTHERCOND then
--code
elseif THIRDCOND then
--code
else
--code
end
--Else and elseif are not necessary:
if COND then
--code
end
if COND then
--code
else
--code
end
if COND then
--code
elseif OTHERCOND then
--code
end

It is good to note that really large `if` `elseif` `else` trees are *usually* a sign that you should use a dictionary or other explicit formula instead. BlueTaslem 18071 — 9y

This is truth, but it's impossible to know which is better without a situation to apply it to. adark 5487 — 9y

I have a feeling he might've been asking about nested if statements. DigitalVeer 1473 — 9y

Example
local value1 = 0
if value1 == 1 then
print("1")
else
if value1 == 0 then
print("0")
end
end

It would need to be else (skip a line then) if DevScripting 92 — 9y

There are *many* cases where that is false, DevScripting. Why would you avoid useing `elseif` anyway? It's a lot easier to type. adark 5487 — 9y

That is incorrect information; I use it almost all the time in the Scripting Field for some of my experiments, as do other scripters, to me, it is primarily used for 'debugging'. @DevScripting TheeDeathCaster 2368 — 9y
