Solution

  • Well, when you compare something in Lua and many other languages, especially when you want to know if they're equal, then you should use a double equal sign:

    if Jumpscare == 1 then
    playSound('PIRACY_IS_ILLIGAL')
end

    This is because "=" are used to set a variable to a certain value. In english your code says:

    if ... Btw Jumpscare is equal to one. ... then

    Instead, you would want it to say:

    if Jumpscare is equal to one, then...

    Hence the "==" !
    Have a good day and remember to use "==" when comparing values :D
