i have problems with 'Expected identifier when parsing function name, got '('? [SOLVED!]

Asked 186 views1 answers

Hello!

I'm scripting a game but the whole thing does'nt work because of a that '(' at line 4. Does someone knows why?

MenuObby.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	script.Parent.Loading.Visible = true
	Menu.Visisble = false
	function(Player)
		game.GetService('TeleportService'):Teleport(ObbyId, Player)
	end
end)

This is the error message:

Players.alexerooo4.PlayerGui.Screengui.MenuScript:44: Expected identifier when parsing function name, got '('

Pls someone help me! Otherwise i need to stop the project...

Thanks, alexerooo4 - Programmer of the game 'Cube.'

Identifiers

In programming, an Identifier is a user-defined name given to various different coding aspects such as variables functions and more...

Here, you've instantiated an anonymous function. Through the given context, it's application isn't appropriate. Therefore the compiler is expecting you to assign an identifier to your function:

function name(Player)
	game:GetService("TeleportService"):Teleport(ObbyId, Player)
end
