I am a new user to Mac and I need help.
The error is:
Can’t get button returned.
I am trying to prank my friend with this script that I will save as an application.


Code:
display dialog "VIRUS! VIRUS!" buttons {"Destroy it"} default button 1
if button returned is "Destroy it" then
	tell application "Finder" to sleep
	display dialog "You cannot destroy me" buttons {"Yes I can"}
else if button returned is "Yes I can" then
	
	tell application "System Preferences" to activate
	
end if

Any help is appreciated

First step is to post your code. People cant help you unless they see the code that is not working.
 
Try this :

Code:
if button returned of the result = "Destroy it" then

or

Code:
set theResult to button returned of (display dialog "VIRUS! VIRUS!" buttons {"Destroy it"} default button 1)
if theResult is "Destroy it" then

Ask yourself what will happen then. You need to work on your logic.
