What does "attempt to compare boolean with number" mean?
What does "attempt to compare boolean with number" mean?
Here is my script:
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(Part)
if Part.Name == "B1" and 30 < script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Car.B1.Velocity.Magnitude < 90 then
print("It is B1!")
On line two, it says that I am attempting to compare a boolean with a number. What does this mean and how can I fix it?

you compare 30 < Magnitude which will reurn true / false then it compares < 90 you need to compare them indavidually ie 30 < Magnitude and Magnitude < 90. User#5423 17 — 6y

No I do little bud. I was quoting something. Maybe if you were smart enough to realize that. TheBeaver101 28 — 6y

To solve this you need to separate the comparison, like this:
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(Part)
if Part.Name == "B1" and 30 < script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Car.B1.Velocity.Magnitude and
script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Car.B1.Velocity.Magnitude < 90 then
print("It is B1!")
end
end
end)

As kingdom5 has mentioned, 30 < script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Car.B1.Velocity.Magnitude evaluates first then it will compare it to 90.
-- 30 < 40 is true
-- true < 90 errors
print(30 < 40)
-- Correct way
if 30 < 40 and 40 < 90 then
print("This works")
end
if 30 < 40 < 90 then
print("Doesn't work")
end
