The topic says the question.
local active = false
while task.wait(0.5) do
local x = active and 5 or -5
print(x)
active = not active
end
Any helpful information or explanation?

It’s basically just a while true loop, with a 0.5 second delay. It then has the value of x alternate between 5 and -5.
The
local x = active and 5 or -5
thing is called a Ternary operator, or a short hand if else.
Below is the same code, but rewritten such that it may be clearer what it does:
local active = false
while true do
task.wait(0.5) -- Wait 0.5 seconds
local x
if active == true then
x = 5
else
x = -5
end
print(x)
if active == true then
active = false
else
active = true
end
end
Is that any clearer?
So basically a short version of if else statement? Also does “else” replace as “or”?
Yeah.
BOOL and VAL1 or VAL2
is equivalent to
if BOOL then
VAL1
else
VAL2
end
