Why don't any of my skin checks work

[NeonSRB2]

Welp lets be upfront about it, this is the only line in the code to check for skin, and it says I'm doing arithmetic operations on it.

if (p.powers[pw_super] & p.mo.skin == "metalsonic") then

This is lua as well, I tried skin checking in many scripts beforehand, and they always don't work.

I'm just a Lua amateur, but you need to rewrite the code like this, because that is an arithmetic operation:

if player.powers[pw_super] and player.mo.skin == "metalsonic" then

Oh wait, the and is in there, I guess the symbol is for bitwise operations only.

Also p was the player var, it's customizable to each function

You are correct, "&" is the Bitwise AND operation. For future reference, you can check the BLua Syntax on the wiki.

Yeah, singular & is bitwise. In most other scripting languages, && is the equivalent of and, however blua doesn't appear to support this.

Well the submission is up, ill do a test game with metal force skin and super run.
