How do I include two "if" statements into a script?

Asked Mar 21, 2018192 views2 answers

I tried basically to "nest" it by putting one if statement under another and I even tried the "and" operator, this is what I have so far:

--drgigabyte
local broomOne = script.Parent.Parent
local messOne = game.Workspace.floormesses.mess1
local messTwo = game.Workspace.floormesses.mess2
local messThree = game.Workspace.floormesses.mess3
local cashOne = game.Players.LocalPlayer.leaderstats.Money

script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(hit)
	if hit.Parent.Name == 'floormesses' then
		wait(.2)
		hit.Decal.Transparency = 1
		cashOne.Value = cashOne.Value + 10
		wait(.1)
		script.Disabled = true
		wait(6)
		script.Disabled = false
		end
end)

I'd like to have the second if be something like "If hit.Decal.Transparency > 1 then"

You should just be able to use the and operator to check both in the same line (nested if statements would work too). It is also important to check if hit has something called Decal inside before checking the transparency of the decal to avoid errors.

if hit.Parent.Name == 'floormesses' and hit:FindFirstChild("Decal") and hit.Decal.Transparency > 1 then

However, since the maximum transparency is 1 (1 is completely transparent), you might want to rethink this check. If you want to check if the decal is not transparent, it would be Transparency < 1.

If I understand what you're trying to do correctly, then wouldn't it be something like this?

--drgigabyte
local broomOne = script.Parent.Parent
local messOne = game.Workspace.floormesses.mess1
local messTwo = game.Workspace.floormesses.mess2
local messThree = game.Workspace.floormesses.mess3
local cashOne = game.Players.LocalPlayer.leaderstats.Money

script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(hit)
    if hit.Parent.Name == 'floormesses' then -- the first if statement
	if hit.Decal.Transparency > 1 then -- the second if statement
      		wait(.2)
    	 	hit.Decal.Transparency = 1
      		cashOne.Value = cashOne.Value + 10
      		wait(.1)
       		script.Disabled = true
        	wait(6)
       	 script.Disabled = false
	end -- end to the2nd one
    end -- end to the 1st one
end)

But I also believe you could just do if hit.Parent.Name == 'floormesses' and hit.Decal.Transparency > 1 then
