Error on if else statement

PopeScooby

I am very new to GDscript. I am trying to write a simple if else statement but i am getting "error(25,21): Unexpected assign" on the first line of the if statement. Here is the code. Thanks for any help you can offer

extends Control

onready var CurrPlayerView = 1

func _ready(): get_node("SwitchPlayerLeftBtn").connect("pressed",self,"on_SwitchPlayerLeftBtn_pressed")

func _on_SwitchPlayerLeftBtn_pressed(): if (CurrPlayerView = 0): CurrPlayerView = 6 else: CurrPlayerView = CurrPlayerView + 1

because your setting CurPlayerView to 0, the syntax is wrong.

Should be if (something == something) do something else something else

Thanks, I'm used to vb.net

I'm used to other languages where I can just do if something = something { // something } and it works fine but python/ruby esque syntax requires == just remember that in the future.
