Why does it show error on the "end)" when it has a bracket?

This script looks correct to me, I may be wrong but the error is showing at the end.

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)

    player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
        if player.Name == "SomeDude" then
            print("Hi")

        if player.Name == "SomeOtherDude" then
            print("Hi")
        end 
    end) --//It shows the error here
end)

The error in the output is:

15:05:47.597 - ServerScriptService.OverheadGui:20: Expected identifier when parsing expression, got ')'

You forgot end for your first if statement. You can use elseif instead of making a new if statement. Block_manvn 395 — 4y

You missed the end in your first statement:

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)

    player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
        if player.Name == "SomeDude" then
            print("Hi")
      end -- Missed the end here.
        if player.Name == "SomeOtherDude" then
            print("Hi")
        end 
    end)
end)

You can also use an elseif statement:

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)

    player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
        if player.Name == "SomeDude" then
            print("Hi")

        elseif player.Name == "SomeOtherDude" then
            print("Hi")
        end 
    end)
end)

If you have any issues, feel free to comment back.

fix:

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
    player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
        if player.Name == "SomeDude" then
            print("Hi")
        end
        if player.Name == "SomeOtherDude" then
            print("Hi")
        end 
    end)
end)

That's because you cancel the end from your first if so for e.g.

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)

    player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
        if player.Name == "SomeDude" then
end
            print("Hi")

        if player.Name == "SomeOtherDude" then
            print("Hi")
        end 
    end) 
end)

And remove the bracket on line 10
