Am I incorrectly using "Or" in my 'If Statement'?
If i remove 'or "Barrier"' it works but when i add it everything is setting the script off.
local enabled = true
function onTouched(hit)
if enabled == true and
hit.Name == "Object" or "Barrier" then
enabled = false
script.Parent.Particles.Rate = 250
local Copy = script.Particles:Clone()
Copy.Parent = hit
Copy.Remover.Disabled = false
wait(0.3)
script.Parent.Particles.Rate = 0
enabled = true
end
end
Connection = script.Parent.Touched:Connect(onTouched)

Everything in the script looks fine to me, is there any errors in the output? AIphanium 124 — 5y

Just found a problem tho, is the Particles inside the script or not? (Line 06 - Line 07) AIphanium 124 — 5y

Yes it all works fine, it only brakes when adding the or. PastDays 108 — 5y

Yes you are. When you use or it is like you are creating an entirely new if statement(not quite, but close). Because strings "" evaluate to truthy in Lua your if statement will always pass because "Barrier" evaluates to true. What you need to do is have another hit.Name== after the or like so:
if hit.Name == "Object" or hit.Name == "Barrier" then
-- code
end
Now the only things that will pass through the if statement are things named "Object" and things named "Barrier". I hope this helped, but if it did not then feel free to post a question in the comments below. Have a great day scripting!
