Just wanted to say, I honestly love the C++ syntax you've got going on. It's always been aesthetically pleasing me lmao. ObscureIllusion 352 — 5y

Hey SimplyJeremy,
You can do this simply by using type(). Like this:
local num = 1
local str = "Whatever"
if type(num) == 'number' then
print("It is a number.")
else
print("It is not a number.")
print(type(num)) -- Prints number
print(type(str)) -- Prints string
Reference:
I hope I helped and have a wonderful day/night.
Thanks,
Best regards,
