Multiple Conditions in an if statement

Asked by

I am trying to remake a RCL script to find when players have 1) More than 10 kills 2) A kills-death ratio less than lets say .72

then they are disqualified and teamed to the spectators.

How would I write that? I am having difficulties writing it. I have the leaderboard stats for an RCL. It says

function onHumanoidDied(humanoid, player)
    local stats = player:findFirstChild("leaderstats")
    if stats ~= nil then
        local deaths = stats:findFirstChild("Wipeouts")
        deaths.Value = deaths.Value + 1
            if deaths.Value>10 then
            player.TeamColor=BrickColor.new("White")
            end

to disqualify them. I want to change it to add

if kills/deaths < .72

along with the other condition of if deaths.Value>10 to disqualify.

In order to fully understand, you need to understand if statements and if conditions. What you would be talking about is the "or" condition.

Lets take an example:

i = 2

if i > 0 or i < 1 then
    print('True!')
end

Pretty basic, but it gets the point across. Since "i" is in fact bigger than 0 it moves on. But lets say it wasn't. Let's say i = -1:

i = -1

if i > 0 or i < 1 then
    print('True!')
end

In that case, it would then check the next statement

i<1

Is -1 bigger than 1? No? Than it doesn't move on at all.

We can apply this to your script, line 6.

local kills = stats:FindFirstChild("KOs")

if deaths.Value>10 or (kills/death) < 0.72 then
    player.TeamColor=BrickColor.new("White")
end

I'm going to assume you meant more than ten deaths rather than kills.

This code assumes it is located within a localscript.

function onHumanoidDied()
    local stats = game.Players.LocalPlayer:findFirstChild("leaderstats")
    if stats ~= nil then
        local deaths = stats:findFirstChild("Wipeouts")
        deaths.Value = deaths.Value + 1
        local kills = stats:findFirstChild("Kills") -- assuming you named the stat that holds the kills,  "kills"
        local KD = kills.Value/deaths.Value -- Find the Kill:Death ratio
        if deaths.Value > 10 or KD < .72 then -- Put "or" if you want it to activate as soon as one condition is met. Put "and" if you want both conditions to be satisfied before activating the code.
            game.Players.LocalPlayer.TeamColor = BrickColor.new("White")
        end 
    end
end

game.Players.LocalPlayer.CharacterRemoving:connect(onHumanoidDied)

Let's examine this code line by line.

  1. Create a function called onHumanoidDied. Note: Since it's (assumed to be) in a local script, you don't need the humanoid and player arguments.

  2. Create a local variable called "stats" equal to the leaderstats instance within the player.

  3. If stats isn't nil (meaning, if something is there), then…

  4. Create a local variable called "deaths" equal to the "Wipeouts" value within the stats instance in the player.

  5. Add 1 to the deaths value.

  6. Create a local variable called "kills" equal to the "Kills" value within the stats instance in the player.

  7. Create a local variable called"KD" equal to the value of kills/deaths.

  8. If the player has died more than 10 times OR if the players Kill:Death ratio < .72 then…

  9. Change the players team to the one colored white.

10 - 12. End the function and two if statements

  1. If the LocalPlayers character is removed then call "onHumanoidDied".

I hope that helps. If you have any question feel free to comment or PM me.
