What does this mean??? ~=

~= means Not equal too.

If your asking about =, then, An equals sign can do many things.

1. Make a variable

Chuck = game.Workspace

1. Make a statement true.

Chuck = true

I'm sure there is many more uses for =, I only know a few.

Hope I was a help.

Here is a Wiki section that will help you with all operators and their meanings. http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=Operators

Glad I could help. A thumbs up wouldn't hurt. :)

The ~= means 'not equal to'.

So, for example:

local a = 1

if a ~= 1 then
print('This will never print')
else
print('This will print')
end

~ Not = Equal

~= means "not equal to"

For example:

if 2*2 ~= 6 then print("THESE AREN'T EQUAL!") end

~= Means Not Equal

that means it returns false if the value is equal
