Topic: lua: if statement do not work

I want to check if a field has an immovable and if it has one, the loop has to break.

This example do not work:

   f = map:get_field(10,20)
    while true do
        -- do some thing
        sleep(10000)
        if f.immovable ~= nil then
            break
        end
    end

I put a print statements before the if and it shows me that f.immovable ~= nil is true if field f has an immovable. So the if should catch, but it doesn't. A working solution is this example:

    f = map:get_field(10,20)
    while true do
        -- do some thing
        sleep(10000)
        has_immovable = f.immovable
        if has_immovable ~= nil then
            break
        end
    end

What is the difference? Why does the first example do not work?

In the first example i have also tried to enclose the if-condition in braces, but this does not work also... it drives me crazy

You can find a scenario map here: https://c.1und1.de/@520176427140645159/g-IjyQ6VRx2p-QeiQXSmvw

The function showing the problem is in scripting/story_script and is called wobble_field()

Thanks for looking into this issue

No, the problem was quoting my post, which triggered our spam checker to hide the post. Sorry for inconvenience
