if maxHealth > smaxHealth3 and health > smaxHealth3 then -- set shield local lmaxHealth = maxHealth s3 = health - smaxHealth3 ms3 = maxHealth - smaxHealth3 maxHealth = 0 -- maxhealth = 0 health = health - s3 -- health - shield print(s3) maxHealth = lmaxHealth -- maxhealth = lastmaxhealth end if maxHealth > smaxHealth2 and health > smaxHealth2 then -- set shield local lmaxHealth = maxHealth s2 = health - smaxHealth2 ms2 = maxHealth - smaxHealth2 maxHealth = 0 -- maxhealth = 0 health = health - s2 -- health - shield maxHealth = lmaxHealth -- maxhealth = lastmaxhealth end if maxHealth > smaxHealth and health > smaxHealth then -- set shield local lmaxHealth = maxHealth shield = health - smaxHealth -- health - setmaxhealth(100) maxHealth = 0 -- maxhealth = 0 health = health - shield -- health - shield maxHealth = lmaxHealth -- maxhealth = lastmaxhealth end These are my if statements for each stage of my shield system shown here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vUUeM1YQoFs&user=badfitz66 bottom one being the yellow bar, green being the middle. I added the top just now. Is there any way I can condense this? What's Wolfgang McHairyback gonna do?

He wants to make the code shorter or more efficient.

I assume no one understands my code to be able to make it smaller. Neither do I (mostly, but it's really hard to explain) What's Wolfgang McHairyback gonna do?

It would help if you included the variable definitions :(

Idk if I got everything if maxHealth > smaxHealth and health > smaxHealth then local lmaxHealth = maxHealth health = health - shield if maxHealth > smaxHealth2 and health > smaxHealth2 then s2 = health - smaxHealth2 ms2 = maxHealth - smaxHealth2 health = health - s if maxHealth > smaxHealth 3 and health >smaxHealth3 then s3 = health - smaxHealth3 print(s3) ms3 = maxHealth - smaxHealth3 health = health - s3 end maxHealth = lmaxHealth end end You also have a problem because you're doing maxHealth = 0 then right after you're doing maxHealth = lmaxHealth. I'm not sure why.

Oops that last maxHealth = lmaxHealth should be one end statement down.

Only does the first shield, the second and third shields don't work (their if statements aren't being ran either) What's Wolfgang McHairyback gonna do?
