Im just wondering if there is an easy way to set a variable like this?
local boolean = (1 = 1)
print(boolean) -- True
local boolean = (1 = 2)
print(boolean) -- False
I’m trying to avoid using an entire If Else statement to set a single variable like this:
if statement == true then
boolean = true
else
boolean = false
end
If there’s not an easy work around then thats alright, Im just trying to find possible solutions.

local boolean = number == 1 and true or false
“number == 1” is the logic part
“and” means that the logic endend
“true” is what the variable will be if the statement is true
“false” is what the variable will be if the statement is false

Oh that makes alot of sense. I think I was doing number = 1 instead of number == 1 . Oops! Thanks for the help though.
Just to add, you could do this for if you wanted elseif’s in that format.
local boolean = number == 1 and true or number == 2 and false
which is the equlivlent to:
if number == 1 then
boolean = true
elseif number == 2 then
boolean = false
end
and add this then if the number is none of those it would be true
or true

Why not do this? I find it more readable and less redundant.
local boolean = number == 1
