can anyone fix the Error: Expected 'end' (to close 'function' at line 8), got 'else' error?

Asked Aug 15, 2021260 views2 answers

local gamepass = 16730719
local market = game:GetService("MarketplaceService")
local replicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(Character)
		if market:UserOwnsGamePassAsync(player.UserId, gamepass) then
			replicatedStorage.Remotes.Lift.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
				player.leaderstats.Views.Value = player.leaderstats.Views.Value + 2
		else
			replicatedStorage.Remotes.Lift.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
				player.leaderstats.Views.Value = player.leaderstats.Views.Value + 1
			end
		end)
end
end)
end)

there is actually 2 errors error 1: Error: (10,3) Syntax error: Expected 'end' (to close 'function' at line 8), got 'else'

error 2: Error: (14,3) Syntax error: Expected ')' (to close '(' at line 11), got 'end'

##Problem: (Re-edited by JesseSong!)

The error means the code expected an end to close on the event of OnServerEvent to enclose the function! You didn't add an end with a parenthesis on line 13, and therefore got the error: Expected ')' (to close '(' at line 11), got 'end'

##Solution:

Add the end with an ending parenthesis like this end) on line 13

##Fixed Script:

local gamepass = 16730719
local market = game:GetService("MarketplaceService")
local replicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")


game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(Character)
		if market:UserOwnsGamePassAsync(player.UserId, gamepass) then
			replicatedStorage.Remotes.Lift.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
				player.leaderstats.Views.Value = player.leaderstats.Views.Value + 2
			end)
		else
			replicatedStorage.Remotes.Lift.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
				player.leaderstats.Views.Value = player.leaderstats.Views.Value + 1
			end)
		end
	end)
end)

You should include an explenation as to what was causing the error, instead of just giving them their fixed code.

The code is right, but the answer is wrong @NickyPlayz2011

The reason @Not_prototype's code errored is because he didn't add an ending parenthesis on line 13. Also, the function requires an end on line 9, since it's connected to an RBXScriptSignal (OnServerEvent)

I originally thought you had two too many ends, but it seems that you've nested two listeners.

local gamepass = 16730719
local market = game:GetService("MarketplaceService")
local replicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

replicatedStorage.Remotes.Lift.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
	if market:UserOwnsGamePassAsync(player.UserId, gamepass) then
		player.leaderstats.Views.Value = player.leaderstats.Views.Value + 2
	else
		player.leaderstats.Views.Value = player.leaderstats.Views.Value + 1
	end
end)

You don't need the PlayerAdded nor the CharacterAdded event as you already get player from the client when firing a RemoveEvent. I do not think you can nest a listener inside an event either.
