only use - if you need to substract

Yep, it's an end-of-function error. It expected you to put an equal sign there, not a hyphen.

It mean's pretty much what it states, "unexpected symbol". Try changing the top line to...

local tool = script.Parent

Let me know if that helps, if not leave a comment.

I think I know what you mean.

local tool = tool - script.parent

There. Lua doesn't recognise local tool = tool - script.parent. follow the script above.

and what the hell does subtracting a tool mean? He meant an equal sign not some weird math stuff.
