How do I make the if statement not end the script when the if statement is false?
I want to make a script where if the value is a certain number the game print something but it dosen't. To fix the problem I used elseif but it still didn't work. how do I make it work?
local player = script.Parent.Parent.Parent
local char = player.Name
script.Parent.Activated:Connect(function()
if script.Parent.Value.Value == 1 then
print("k")
if script.Parent.Value.Value == 2 then
print("1")
if script.Parent.Value.Value == 3 then
print("s")
end
end
end
end)
how do I make it work for every number unless it isn't in the script? Thank you if you answer.

It prints K when the value is 1 but when it changes it dosen't print anything turquoise_monkeyman 32 — 5y

Use spawn() or coroutines to run the function in a separate thread. DeceptiveCaster 3761 — 5y

Your script isn't working because you put each subsequent if statement inside the previous one.
if script.Parent.Value.Value == 1 then
-- Everything between this "if" and this "end" runs ONLY IF the expression "script.Parent.Value.Value == 1" is true
if script.Parent.Value.Value == 2 then -- The code here will never run if the value is not 1 because it's inside of the first if statement
end
-- This is why indentation is important; it makes it obvious what block your pieces of code are in
end
This is what you want instead:
if script.Parent.Value.Value == 1 then
print('k')
elseif script.Parent.Value.Value == 2 then
print('l')
elseif script.Parent.Value.Value == 3 then
print('s')
end -- Notice that there's only one "end" in this example; that's because the if statement is compound instead of nested (look up nested loops/functions for a clearer understanding of the concept)
A general example of nested code blocks:
for i = 1,10 do -- Outer loop
for j = i,10 do -- Inner loop
print(i + j)
end
-- j is not defined out here; it is only defined INSIDE the inner loop
end

So basically:
value = 5
if value == 5 then
print('value = 5 (true)')
else
print('value does not equal 5. (false)')
end
If the value is 5 it'll print 'value = 5 (true)' if it isn't it will print 'value does not equal 5. (false)'
