Lua operators are expressions used to perform calculations or to pass arguments between different value types.

Conditional Operators

if Query if something does or does not meet a certain condition.
else Do something else if the query condition was not met.
elseif Used to add additional if queries, if the initial query condition was not met.
end This is used to close various queries or functions; there must be the same amount of end as if; except in instances where elseif has been used.
