How do I insert a 'do nothing' line?

Hi,

I'm trying to insert an if statement to play a sound with an elseif statement to not play the sound if ... happens. How do I insert a line to do nothing? I've tried:

if ... then
script.Parent.Music:Play()
else if ... then
end

and

if ... then
script.Parent.Music:Play()
else if ... then
script.Parent.Music:Stop()
end
end

however none of these worked. I'd greatly appreciate if someone could tell me how to do this. Thanks :)

That's uh, how if statements work. If the condition is true, the sound will play. So if it isn't true, nothing will happen. The sound won't play nor will it get launched into outer space and get sucked in by a black hole.

if ... then
    script.Parent.Music:Play()
end

No need for a 'do nothing' line.

Hi, well, I see you're new to programming and don't yet fully understand the main syntaxes, let me explain the if conditions to you in a way that you don't need a hackerman.

If statements or just if points check if something exists, or if something has a specific value, it all depends on what you ask it to do.

What you might not understand in this context is how it is executed, if the condition or checks are not met, the if statement will not execute the code inside, and just carry on if there's more, for example:

local Cars = 6
local SkyColor = "blue"

if Cars == 7 then
print("There are 7 cars")
end
if SkyColor == "blue" then
print("The sky is blue")
end

Expected output:
> The sky is blue

im pretty sure you are going for something anti-exploitive, heres a good way to do such a thing

if not (...) then
    -- do stuff
end
