The error I keep getting is " expected near end" and I cannot for the life of me figure out why this happens and how to stop it.

The script doesn't work without it.

Remember, error messages tell you the specific line of code which yields the issue. Nathan already pointed it out in his answer, which I also left a comment on, but remember and analyze this for future reference.

You're using an extra end and using a connect function, which requires an ending )

If you use a normal function, you don't have to use the ); however, if you use it in a connect function, you need to have a ) on the end. I.e end).

Sorry if I made that confusing :P.

Just to clarify, the closing parenthesis follows the end statement because it's being passed as an argument to "connect". Arguments are enclosed with parenthesis, therefore the anonymous function is no exception.

Just for those who stumble across this post who may also be confused about the question or answer, for some additional insight.

If you're using a function like this, you need to use ) at the last 'end' of your function script.
