If statement goes through when the options do not align

[Mrtrainhead3617 (Trainhead)]

I have an if statement that should go to the else part of the block when they do not align, but for some reason, the if statement goes through no matter what

	if detector:GetAttribute("Straight") and nextstop[2] == straightsplit[1] or straightsplit[2] then
		print(nextstop, straightsplit)
		print("straight server")
		SwitchModule.Straight(straight, switch)
	else
		print("switch server")
		SwitchModule.Switch(straight, switch)
	end

can anyone help ? thanks !

its because of the or right here

so whatever things you wrote before it dont matter, because if straightsplit[2] exists then it will go through.

i think you meant to do something like this

if detector:GetAttribute("Straight") and( nextstop[2] == straightsplit[1] or nextstop[2] ==  straightsplit[2]) then

see how i use brackets?
