I was reading a wall climbing script.And I found this:

function down(KEY) return uis:IsKeyDown(Enum.KeyCode[KEY]) end
local sideDirection = rootpart.CFrame.RightVector*(down("D") and -2 or 2)

the down function returns a bool value but what does the 2nd line do. exactly.? im not understanding it. Pls explain.

Basically what it does is that it multiplies the RightVector of the HumanoidRootPart, assuming rootpart contains that by either -2 or 2, depending on the result of that operator

down("D") and -2 or 2

Basically means, if the function returns true, multiply by -2, otherwise, if it returned false multiply by 2

Or in context terms, if you’re holding down D, it’ll multiply the RightVector by -2, and if you are not, it multiplies it by 2
