Solution – 1

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 😀
