{Solved} Setting values in .lua

[Cadyan]

Why doesn't this seem to work? Is there a better way to set the amount based on storage?

if getPlayerStorageValue(cid, 10012) == 1 then
                    amount = 5
else
                    amount = 1
end
local newamount = amount * 2

local newamount = (getPlayerStorageValue(cid, 10012) == 1 and 5 or 1) * 2

So with this below code, if the storage values are the same, the amount3 would equal 10?
While if the storage values were NOT the same, the value would equal 2?

local amount1 = getPlayerStorageValue(cid, 10011)
local amount2 = (getPlayerStorageValue(cid, 10012) == amount1 and 5 or 1)
local amount3 = (amount2 * 2)

Yes. In one line:

local amount = (getPlayerStorageValue(cid, 10012) == getPlayerStorageValue(cid, 10011) and 5 or 1) * 2

 

[Cadyan]

Well its not working. The value is always turning out as the "second option".

or 1)

 

[Dantez]

print((555 == 555 and 5 or 1) * 2)

That's working so maybe storages aren't equal?
