To have more than one condition read by an if statement, you can use one of two keywords:
and. This keyword tells the if statement to check ifa and bis true. In the case of this keyword, a and b must both be true in order for the condition to pass. (You can have as many conditions withandas you like, just as long as each condition is separated byand.)or. Tells the if statement to check if eithera or b. If a is not true, then check to see if b is true. If neither a or b are true, the condition does not pass. (Likeand, you can have as many conditions as you want withor.)
In your case, you're checking if a number is between 1 and 50. You would use and:
if EggRan > 1 and EggRan <= 50 then
-- Continue with the code if this condition passes
end
The above code checks for two things, both of which must be true for the condition to pass:
- The randomly generated number is greater than 1.
- The randomly generated number is less then or equal to 50.
For finding numbers within a range, you should always use math.random().

if EggRan > 0 and EggRan < 51 then
