Check if the value is the same as NumberValue without else if

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1
  1. What do you want to achieve?
    I want to check if the NumberValue is the same as the script value
  2. What is the issue?
    If I use too many if else, the performance will drop and it will take time if the value I want to check for is at the bottom.
  3. What solutions have you tried so far?
    I haven’t tried any solutions, as I don’t know what to use.

This is what I mean:

local Value = script.Parent.NumberValue.Value
			
if Value == 0 then
			
	else if Value == 1 then

		else if Value == 2 then
				
			else if Value == 3 then
					
				else if Value == 4 then
						
					else if Value == 5 then
							
					end
				end
			end
		end
	end
end

Firstly, it’s elseif, not else if, which is why it’s causing those many ends

Secondly, if you just want to do something specific when something is a certain value, you can maybe use a dictionary with functions?

local Value = script.Parent.NumberValue.Value

local valuefuns = {
	[1] = function()
		print("The value is one")
	end,
	
	[2] = function()
		print("The value is two")
	end
}

valuefuns[Value]() --If the value is 2, it will print The value is two

I’m not sure exactly what you mean by

#3

I can’t assign the dictionary to the NumberValue.

And yes, SelectedSlot is a NumberValue.

I forgot to add the () when firing a dictionary function, at SelectedSlot[Value], put () at the end

SelectedSlot[Value]()
