I know this has been discussed before but I’ve been remiss it writing down for future reference. How do you mix && and || in a single statement. For example, I have a button that can be clicked if…
AnchorStealStatus = 0 && RoundStatus = 1 && playerSide != ActivePlayer && playerSide != Questioner && (here’s the problem part)
It can be clicked by either playerSide = Anchor OR playerSide = Master
What you need is the regular expression match
playerSide ~= Anchor | Master && AnchorStealStatus = 0 && RoundStatus = 1 &&
playerSide != ActivePlayer
&& playerSide != Questioner

Thanx. I wasn’t even aware that a tilde was a valid expression character.
Looking at it more closely I don’t think you need the playerSide exclusions and should be able to get away with this:
playerSide ~= Anchor | Master && AnchorStealStatus = 0 && RoundStatus = 1
No, I need the exclusions. It’s a button that allows players to attempt to steal a trivia question that the active player doesn’t guess correctly. The active player and the questioner are obviously not allowed to steal. Therefore, their steal button shouldn’t work.
Oh, I see why you asked whether those options needed to be included in the statement.
I should have noted $ActivePlayer$ and $Questioner$ (their variables)
Basically, if the playerside known as Anchor is the active player or the questioner, the button won’t work.
That probably makes more sense.
