Why is the code not running correctly?
Hi. I recently started to practice on my Lua books and I'm a very beginner scripter. I made the line of code below to see if I was getting the hang of statements, and I guess I really wasn't. I want it to change the color of "Door_1" if the equation is correct. I got an error message saying it expected a "= " near else which really confused me.
a = 5
b = 10
e = 15
if
a + b == e
then print("Passcode Correct: Unlocking Door.")
Game.Workspace.Door_1.BrickColor = Light Green
else
print("Passcode Incorrect: Door Locked.")
end
Again, I am a very beginner scripter and this may seem ridiculous to some of you, considering it's such an easy thing that I most likely messed up. I found it a better idea to come here, and as the advanced scripters rather than just going on Google and searching for a way to let me script run because we'll, I need to know what I did wrong just not correct it.

-- You aren't setting the values and you're using them at the top, so there's no reason not to make these vars local
local a = 5
local b = 10
local e = 15
if a + b == e then
-- I don't know if your formatting messed up?
print("Passcode Correct: Unlocking Door.")
game.Workspace.Door_1.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Bright green")
-- You didn't put BrickColor.new("string")
-- Also there is no 'Light Green' or 'Light green'
else
print("Passcode Incorrect: Door Locked.")
end
