if statement == that OR that

[kuwalda]

organizacijuSkinList["teamPolice"] = { 280, 281 } 
if tonumber(getElementModel(thePlayer)) ~= (tonumber(organizacijuSkinList["teamPolice"][1]) or tonumber(organizacijuSkinList["teamPolice"][2])) then 

I am storing my organisations skin lists in table like shown above.

Problem is that my if statement works only for first check.

Like in simplified version, lets say player got skin 311

if 311 ~= 312 or 241

This check works only for first value (311 ~= 312), but it ignores second check (241). Why?

Show that function plz, like the entire part for that function and see what pops up in the debug window and post it

There is no need to, because this script works, but only this line bothers me.

Instead of:

if tonumber(getElementModel(thePlayer)) ~= (tonumber(organizacijuSkinList["teamMehanic"][1]) or tonumber(organizacijuSkinList["teamMehanic"][2])) then 

I could have used:

if tonumber(getElementModel(thePlayer)) ~= (tonumber(organizacijuSkinList["teamMehanic"][1]) then 
if tonumber(getElementModel(thePlayer)) ~= tonumber(organizacijuSkinList["teamMehanic"][2])) then 

But it feels wrong to me and I wanted to found out, how can I do it corectlly.

Sorry for not getting back to you, I have been busy with other jobs. Did you get this fixed?

x == y or z 

This expression will check if either of conditions "x == y" and "z" is true. If "z" is anything besides nil or false, the condition will be satisfied. It's the same as this expression:

(x == y) or (z) 

If you need to check if x is equal to either y or z, you need to make it this way:

x == y or x == z
