It is that you use elseif, meaning that it only runs the code under those statements if the previous statements fail. Replace with just “if” instead but remember to close the previous if then statement by using an end.

I know that it’s unrealated to the problem, but an if statement is checking whether the value between if and then is true. e.g When you print(1+1==2), it will print true. If the value between if and then is equal to true, or in some cases not nil, it will continue to the function between then and end. As a result, you do not need to check if a bool value is equal to true in an if statement.

e.g

if Box1 and not Box2 then
end

so i just remove the true’s and false’s and it’ll work?

now it doesn’t work at all, it broke

My post regarding the formatting of the if statements was not a fix to your problem…

I was merely trying to help you understand the way LUA works a bit more and help you with future scripting. :slight_smile:

You don’t take out the == true/false unless you know that the value being compared is a bool value. Then you can distinguish between true and false using if Variable then and if Variable not then.
