"Workspace.Tool.Script:15: 'end' expected (to close 'function' at line 12) near 'else'"?
I'm trying to make a tool that burns whatever bricks you click on. Currently returns " Workspace.Tool.Script:15: 'end' expected (to close 'function' at line 12) near 'else'"
function Burn(part)
print "burning part"
fire = Instance.new("Fire")
fire.parent = part
for burning=0,1, 0.1 do
wait(1)
part.Transparency = burning
end
part:Destroy()
end
function Button1Down(mouse)
setfireto = mouse.Target
if setfireto == nil then return end
else Burn(setfireto)
end
end

The second problem in your code is that 'parent' on Line 4 is not capitalized - I think that fixes the problem. TheDeadlyPanther 2460 — 8y

The problem is at line 14. "else" only works inside of if statements. So, Instead of:
if setfireto == nil then return end
else Burn(setfireto)
do:
if not setfireto then return else Burn(setfireto) end
Also, in case you're wondering, you don't have to check if a value is nil by doing var == nil, you can just do not var
So, instead of:
L = 0 print(L == nil) --Output: false
you can simplify it by adding "not" before the variable like this:
L = 0 print(not L) --Output: false

The error stopped, but the tool still does nothing. Any idea why? cheetosrevenge 20 — 8y

line 4, the P in parent should be capitalized User#14829 0 — 8y

You need to capitalize the P in: Fire.parent
Make it like:
Fire.Parent
Good luck ;)
