Tell us what’s happening:

please, can somebody help me?

If a small straight is rolled, your checkForStraights function should enable the fourth radio button, set the value to 30, update the displayed text to , score = 30 and leave the fifth radio button disabled.

Your code so far

/* file: script.js */
// User Editable Region

const checkForStraights = (arr) => {
  const setArray = [...new Set(arr)];
  const sortedArr = setArray.sort((a, b) => a - b);
  let consecutiveNumber = 1;
  for (let i = 1; i < sortedArr.length; i++) {
    sortedArr[i] === sortedArr[i - 1] + 1 ? consecutiveNumber++ : consecutiveNumber = 1;
  }
  
  if (consecutiveNumber >= 5) {
    updateRadioOption(4, 40);
    updateRadioOption(3, 30);
    return
  }

  if (consecutiveNumber === 4) {
    updateRadioOption(3, 30);
  } 

  updateRadioOption(5, 0);
  
}



rollDiceBtn.addEventListener("click", () => {
  if (rolls === 3) {
    alert("You have made three rolls this round. Please select a score.");
  } else {
    rolls++;
    resetRadioOptions();
    rollDice();
    updateStats();
    getHighestDuplicates(diceValuesArr);
    detectFullHouse(diceValuesArr);
    checkForStraights(diceValuesArr);
  }
});

your function is missing some combinations

for example it fails to identify [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 ] as a small straight
