Removing 3 if statements from a function

[Remingling]

Hi,

I have a challenge for all the perfectionist’s out there. Find a way to remove the 3 if statements and make it shorter. Or even turn it into one if statement…

Code:

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local StarterPlayer = game:GetService("StarterPlayer")

local Knit = require(ReplicatedStorage.Packages.Knit)
local ContextActionUtility = require(ReplicatedStorage.Sources.Utility.ContextActionUtility)
local calculateRelativeDirection = require(ReplicatedStorage.Sources.Utility.calculateRelativeDirection)
-- Variables
local Player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local Character = Player.Character
local Humanoid = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
-- Controller
local Movement = Knit.CreateController{
	Name = "Movement"
}

local BACKWARDS_SPEED = (StarterPlayer.CharacterWalkSpeed/2)
local STRAFE_SPEED = (StarterPlayer.CharacterWalkSpeed/1.4)

function onDirection()
	local rDirection = calculateRelativeDirection(workspace.CurrentCamera, Humanoid)
	
	if rDirection == "Left" or rDirection == "Right" then
		Humanoid.WalkSpeed = STRAFE_SPEED
	end
	
	if rDirection == "Backward" or  rDirection == "BackwardLeft" or rDirection == "BackwardRight" then
		Humanoid.WalkSpeed = BACKWARDS_SPEED
	end
	
	if rDirection == "Forward" or rDirection == "ForwardLeft" or rDirection == "ForwardRight" then
		
		Humanoid.WalkSpeed = StarterPlayer.CharacterWalkSpeed
	end
	
	--print("Direction:",rDirection,"| Speed:",tostring(Humanoid.WalkSpeed),"| Default: "..StarterPlayer.CharacterWalkSpeed)
end

Humanoid:GetPropertyChangedSignal("MoveDirection"):Connect(onDirection)
return Movement

calculateRelativeDirection:

local calculateRelativeDirection = {}

local DIRECTION_VALUES = {
	["Standing"] = {0, 0},

	["Backward"] = {-1, 0},
	["Forward"] = {1, 0},

	["BackwardRight"] = {-1, 1},
	["BackwardLeft"] = {-1, -1},

	["ForwardRight"] = {1, 1},
	["ForwardLeft"] = {1, -1},

	["Right"] = {0, 1},
	["Left"] = {0, -1}
}

local function calculateRelativeDirection(cameraInstance: Camera, humanoid: Humanoid)
	local cameraRightVector = cameraInstance.CFrame.RightVector
	local cameraLookVector = cameraInstance.CFrame.LookVector
	local moveDirection = humanoid.MoveDirection

	local lookDot, rightDot = math.round(moveDirection:Dot(cameraLookVector)), math.round(moveDirection:Dot(cameraRightVector))

	for movementStatus: string, vectorData: {number} in DIRECTION_VALUES do
		if vectorData[1] ~= lookDot or vectorData[2] ~= rightDot then
			continue
		end

		return movementStatus
	end

	return "Standing"
end


return calculateRelativeDirection

Use tables.

Speed = {
   [“Right”] = 
}

humanoid.WalkSpeed = Speed[name]

local BACKWARDS_SPEED = (StarterPlayer.CharacterWalkSpeed/2)
local STRAFE_SPEED = (StarterPlayer.CharacterWalkSpeed/1.4)
local FSTRAFE_SPEED = (StarterPlayer.CharacterWalkSpeed/1.07)

local SPEED = {
	["Standing"] = STRAFE_SPEED,
	["Backward"] = BACKWARDS_SPEED,

	["ForwardRight"] = FSTRAFE_SPEED,
	["ForwardLeft"] = FSTRAFE_SPEED,

	["Right"] = STRAFE_SPEED,
	["Left"] = STRAFE_SPEED
}

function onDirection()
	local Direction = calculateRelativeDirection(workspace.CurrentCamera, Humanoid)
	local Speed = SPEED[Direction]
	
	Humanoid.WalkSpeed = Speed
end

Humanoid:GetPropertyChangedSignal("MoveDirection"):Connect(onDirection)
return Movement

Very smart!! Anyone think they got a better method than this?
