If not (something.Value == "name1" or "name2") do

1. What do you want to achieve?
   Solution or alternative to checking if a string value is not of 2 different names.

2. What is the issue?
   Check wont go through, even though an invSlots value is something else. Meaning the 2nd print doesnt show.

Also to keep things clear i have 9 slots, 3 have the value ‘none’ and the other 6 are ‘locked’.

When i activate another script it does change the first slot with a value of none to the name seen in the print, then it fires a remote event to the script that activates the function.
(So i know the problem is located in the code i selected).

(From print(invSlot.Value)

Im 99.9% sure the problem is in
“if not (invSlot.Value == “none” or “locked”) then”

3. What solutions have you tried so far?
   I did look through devforum of the different ways in have to check if a value is 1 of 2 names and it does work but in this sense it doesnt.

function updateSpace()
	task.wait(0.1)
	
	for _, invSlot in pairs(invSpace:GetChildren()) do
		print(invSlot.Value)

		if not (invSlot.Value == "none" or "locked") then
			print("not none or locked")
			if not itemsFrame:FindFirstChild(invSlot.Value) then

			end	

		end

	end

end

Sorry if this isnt enough to figure the problem, just ask for more and ill provide.

You can’t just set up an if statement like that.

Code:

function updateSpace()
	task.wait(0.1)

	for _, invSlot in pairs(invSpace:GetChildren()) do
		print(invSlot.Value)

		if not (invSlot.Value == "none" or invSlot.Value == "locked") then
			print("not none or locked")
			if not itemsFrame:FindFirstChild(invSlot.Value) then

			end	
		end
	end
end

You can also use:

if value ~= otherValue then

To check if it’s inequal.
