Attempt to compare number with boolean

[Pirulax]

Hello guys, for some reason debugscript is saying this..Heres my script piece:

	setElementData(p, "acc:admin", 7)
	if not getElementData(p, "acc:admin") > 0 then return end

Nothing else changes acc:admin.

Edit: Found the solution:

	setElementData(p, "acc:admin", 7)
	if not (getElementData(p, "acc:admin") > 0) then return end

But, i still don't understand, so can someone explain me whats the difference between those code blocks?

getElementData(p, "acc:admin") > 0

(getElementData(p, "acc:admin") > 0)

the difference is in the ()

getElementData(p, "acc:admin") > 0

 

if not getElementData(p, "acc:admin") > 0 then return end

local numberValue = getElementData(p, "acc:admin") -- 7

outputDebugString(not numberValue) -- false

false > 0 = Attempt to compare number with boolean

(getElementData(p, "acc:admin") > 0)

if not (getElementData(p, "acc:admin") > 0) then return end

local numberValue = getElementData(p, "acc:admin") -- 7

outputDebugString(numberValue > 0) -- true

local result = numberValue > 0 -- true

outputDebugString(not result) -- false
