Workspace.Script:5: ')' expected (to close '(' at line 1) near 'end'?
There's an error in my script " Workspace.Script:5: ')' expected (to close '(' at line 1) near 'end' " And this is the script I used:
1 | script.Parent.Baseplate.Touched:connect(function(hit) |
2 | hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") |
3 | hit.Parent.Humanoid.Health = hit.Parent.Humanoid.Health - 10 |
4 | end |
5 | end) |
Can anyone fix this?
I've also tried
1 | hit.Parent.Humanoid:TakeDamge(10) |
instead of
1 | hit.Parent.Humanoid.Health = hit.Parent.Humanoid.Health - 10 |
But it still wouldn't work.

i think one of your ends might be wrong. maybe try adding a ) to the first end User#22980 0 — 6y

I also tried that, also the first end isn't for a function, it's to find the child. DbExpress 20 — 6y

FindFirstChild doesn't need an end. You use it to get a child of some instance so set that line to a variable. xPolarium 1388 — 6y

:FindFirstChild() is used to get the child of some instance and you can set it to a variable.
With this you can simply the code and even use :TakeDamage() instead.
This would look like:
01 | --If this is the standard baseplate in workspace then you could do: |
02 | --workspace:FindFirstChild("Baseplate") or workspace.Baseplate |
03 |
04 | --I'm just showing you here how you could index a child using FindFirstChild |
05 | local part = script.Parent:FindFirstChild("Baseplate") |
06 |
07 | --You only have one function here. Make sure it has an end! |
08 | --Since this is an anonymous function a closing ')' will follow the end |
09 | part.Touched:Connect(function(hit) |
10 | --Use capital Connect over connect when connecting functions |
11 |
12 | if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then |
13 | hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid"):TakeDamage(10) |
14 | end |
15 | end) |
edit: formatting. made stuff better.

its not really the answer, just remove the FindFirstChild, the original script have 1 extra end and this will give a nil error Leamir 3138 — 6y

Where in this script would throw a nil error? The only way I would see it throwing one would be because another part that's not in the character model touches "baseplate". All you need to do for that is encompass lines 13-14 in an if-statement. xPolarium 1388 — 6y

Changed the way the script worked. Before I had it to show OP other ways of going about his issue. Answering shouldn't just be a a working new script but one that also include other ways of going about it. xPolarium 1388 — 6y

Use a variable. You are repeating yourself in your code. User#21908 42 — 6y
