Is there a better way to use if to check same thing?
Is there a better way to use if to check more than one thing....?
Like: I do:
1 | if string == "taco" or string == "pizza" or string == "duck" then |
better way:
1 | if string == ('taco'or'duck') then |
or something similar?

You would use a switch/ case select but Lua does not have that functionality. http://lua-users.org/wiki/SwitchStatement User#5423 17 — 8y

Not really.
There's not really a better way. However, if there are a ton of string you would like to check, you could loop through a table and return if the string matches any of the values stored in the table.
Example,
01 | local strings = { |
02 | "taco"; |
03 | "cheese"; |
04 | "men"; |
05 | "women"; |
06 | "happy"; |
07 | "sad"; |
08 | "pyrondon"; |
09 | "is"; |
10 | "weird" |
11 | } |
12 |
13 | function check(string) |
14 | for i,v in pairs(strings) do |
15 | if string == v then |
View all 24 lines...
That would only really be practical if you have tons of strings you want to check.
Good Luck!
Warning, there might be a better way xD

Well dang. Thanks for this though, could probably use it if I have like 20 or more strings. Lol Vezious 310 — 8y
