Character HP Reduction in Lua

Code Translation

Original Code (Assumed - Pseudocode)

The original operation to reduce a character's HP to 0 might look like this in pseudocode:

if character.HP > 0:
    character.HP = 0

Translated Code to Lua

Below is the translation of the above logic into Lua:

if character.HP > 0 then
    character.HP = 0
end

Explanation

• Conditional Check: The if statement checks if the character's HP is greater than 0.
• HP Assignment: If true, the character's HP is set to 0.
• Lua Syntax:
  • The use of then is required in Lua for if statements.
  • end marks the conclusion of the conditional block.

This concise translation faithfully preserves the logic of reducing the character's HP to zero while adhering to Lua's syntax and structure.
