getClientStateNumber question

[Luft08 27]

I looked this command up in the wiki and it gave two examples.  I don't understand the second example:

_inGame = getClientStateNumber > 8;

 

I thought it simply returns a value.  I understand _ingame = getClientStateNumber but what does the "> 8" do?

The wiki has all the operators at the beginning.

It does, it then checks whether that number is greater than(>) 8.

Which 8 is "GAME LOADED" Island loaded, vehicles received.

Sorry but maybe I'm just slow. I still don't understand.  So if it determines that the value is less than 8 what does it return? i.e. does it wait until the return value WILL BE greater than 8 before returning?

Did you have a look at the link i posted? It explains exactly that and also gives an example. getClientStateNumber returns a number and > compares it with 8. If you want to wait until getClientStateNumber > 8 you need to put it in a https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/waitUntil. But you need to read the info on those commands.

The command returns number, > is not part of the command, it is comparison operator to compare your number to the number command returns, when you use comparison operator the expression will return true or false.
