In my game, there is a script but it gives me a W008 error
if prt.Name:find("Leg") then prt.Transparency = 1 end
elseif prt:findFirstChild("NameTag") then prt.Head.Transparency = .5 prt.Head.Reflectance = 0 prt.Head.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Institutional white")
end end
prt:findFirstChild("NameTag") is the part where it gives the error. I'm hoping that someone could help me.
You should generally keep your code to doing one thing per line. If you don't, it's easy to miss (important!) details when you're re-reading later, after you've forgotten exactly how it works.
Your second line is doing 4 things!
Properly formatted, your code should look like this:
if prt.Name:find("Leg") then
prt.Transparency = 1
end
elseif prt:FindFirstChild("NameTag") then
prt.Head.Transparency = .5
prt.Head.Reflectance = 0
prt.Head.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Institutional white")
end
end
Every new "block" (between a then and a else/end; between a do and end; between a repeat and until; etc) should be one level to the right.
Also note that :findFirstChild is deprecated in favor the of the more consistently cased :FindFirstChild.

indent.
Remove the end on line 1 and only use one end on line 3. elseif can't be used outside an if statement
