What does this mean? Expected identifier when parsing expression, got 'local'

When creating a function, its saying this? Please help me.

local function getPlayerFromPart(part)
	local character = part.Parent
	
	if character then
		local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(character)
		return player
	end
end

Edit: I am trying to follow a tutorial on how to make a tycoon. This is the full script:

local button = script.Parent
local tycoon = script.Parent.Parent.Parent
local dirtyRock = game.ReplicatedStorage.DirtyRock
local dropper = script.Parent.Parent.Dropper
local objectsFolder =

local function getPlayerFromPart(part)
	local character = part.Parent
	
	if character then
		local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(character)
		return player
	end
end

local function dropObject()
	local newPart = dirtyRock:Clone()
	
	newPart.Position = dropper.Position
	newPart.Parent = objectsFolder
end

local function onTouched(otherPart)
	local player = getPlayerFromPart(otherPart)
	
	if player then
		dropObject()
	end
end

button.Touched:Connect(onTouched)

The problem is that you don't give the objectsFolder value an input while still retaining the equals sign. I assume that you want to set its value to nil, so that you can set it to another value later. To do that you can do the following:

local objectsFolder

This will declare objectsFolder without setting its value. Thus, the value will be nil until it is set to another value.

Removing local would be the solution i think, but since you continue to get an error from somewhere in your function, relating to :GetPlayerFromCharacter, check if the part.Parent.Name is a member of game.Players or even has a humanoid on it. That error consists somewhere outside of your function.
