How can I cut down the amount of lines while keeping the same functionality?

For context this is part of a HUD UI for my mecha game. And there are 4 hardpoints where you can fit weapons and each weapon also has different modes which need to be displayed. Currently I use several if statements to output the correct values however in my experience from unity they have a system where you can directly reference other objects and act accordingly on those references. My issue here is how long the code is and using several what I find to be unnecessary if statements. Is there any way for me to cut down code like this?

local function updateHUD()
	task.wait(.05)
	--print(Gun:GetAttribute("Mode"))
	if Gun:GetAttribute("Hardpoint") == "LH" then
		--print(Gun:GetAttribute("Mode"))
		if Mode.Value == "Alt" then
			--print("Switched to Alt")
			HUD.ARML.AMMO.Text = Gun.AltAmmo.Value
			HUD.ARML.MODE.FIREMODE.Text = Settings.ALT_AMMO_TYPE
		elseif Mode.Value == "Safe" then
			--print("Switched to Safe")
			HUD.ARML.AMMO.Text = "----"
			HUD.ARML.MODE.FIREMODE.Text = "SAFE"
		elseif Mode.Value == "Pri" then
			--print("Switched to Pri")
			HUD.ARML.AMMO.Text = Gun.PriAmmo.Value
			HUD.ARML.MODE.FIREMODE.Text = Settings.AMMO_TYPE
		end
	elseif Gun:GetAttribute("Hardpoint") == "RH" then
		--print(Gun:GetAttribute("Mode"))
		if Mode.Value == "Alt" then
			--print("Switched to Alt")
			HUD.ARMR.AMMO.Text = Gun.AltAmmo.Value
			HUD.ARMR.MODE.FIREMODE.Text = Settings.ALT_AMMO_TYPE
		elseif Mode.Value == "Safe" then
			--print("Switched to Safe")
			HUD.ARMR.AMMO.Text = "----"
			HUD.ARMR.MODE.FIREMODE.Text = "SAFE"
		elseif Mode.Value == "Pri" then
			--print("Switched to Pri")
			HUD.ARMR.AMMO.Text = Gun.PriAmmo.Value
			HUD.ARMR.MODE.FIREMODE.Text = Settings.AMMO_TYPE
		end
	elseif Gun:GetAttribute("Hardpoint") == "LP" then
		--print(Gun:GetAttribute("Mode"))
		if Mode.Value == "Alt" then
			--print("Switched to Alt")
			HUD.PYLONL.AMMO.Text = Gun.AltAmmo.Value
			HUD.PYLONL.MODE.FIREMODE.Text = Settings.ALT_AMMO_TYPE
		elseif Mode.Value == "Safe" then
			--print("Switched to Safe")
			HUD.PYLONL.AMMO.Text = "----"
			HUD.PYLONL.MODE.FIREMODE.Text = "SAFE"
		elseif Mode.Value == "Pri" then
			--print("Switched to Pri")
			HUD.PYLONL.AMMO.Text = Gun.PriAmmo.Value
			HUD.PYLONL.MODE.FIREMODE.Text = Settings.AMMO_TYPE
		end
	elseif Gun:GetAttribute("Hardpoint") == "RP" then
		--print(Gun:GetAttribute("Mode"))
		if Mode.Value == "Alt" then
			--print("Switched to Alt")
			HUD.PYLONR.AMMO.Text = Gun.AltAmmo.Value
			HUD.PYLONR.MODE.FIREMODE.Text = Settings.ALT_AMMO_TYPE
		elseif Mode.Value == "Safe" then
			--print("Switched to Safe")
			HUD.PYLONR.AMMO.Text = "----"
			HUD.PYLONR.MODE.FIREMODE.Text = "SAFE"
		elseif Mode.Value == "Pri" then
			--print("Switched to Pri")
			HUD.PYLONR.AMMO.Text = Gun.PriAmmo.Value
			HUD.PYLONR.MODE.FIREMODE.Text = Settings.AMMO_TYPE
		end
	end
end

my gut is telling me that those if statements are necessary. But you could ig separate them into other smaller functions if u don’t like looking at that many if statements

#3

It just feels like there should be an easier way that im somehow not seeing

#4

How did this completely go over my head? Roblox does have object values for references!

#5

I think putting the innermost if statements into a function and then using it would be the way to go (I just now realized that they’re all the same if statements)
