how do I fix my script made in Roblox Lua? - lua

I'm making my script and the Script Analysis tool says
Error: (54,2) Expected , got 'end'
I thought maybe you guys might help.
Here is the code
-- to be placed in StarterPlayer > StarterPlayerScripts
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
-- wait for local player PlayerGui
local LocalPlayer = Players.LocalPlayer
local playerGui = LocalPlayer:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")
-- create a ScreenGui
local screenGui = Instance.new("ScreenGui", playerGui)
-- create a holder for our bar
local frame = Instance.new("Frame", screenGui)
frame.AnchorPoint = Vector2.new(0.0, 0.0)
frame.Position = UDim2.new(0.0, 0, 0.0, 0)
frame.Size = UDim2.new(0.0, 0, 0.0, 0)
-- create a bar
local bar = Instance.new("Frame", frame)
bar.Position = UDim2.new(0, 0, 0, 0)
bar.Size = UDim2.new(1, 0, 1, 0)
bar.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.new(0, 1, 0)
-- create a sound
local sound = Instance.new("Sound", screenGui)
local lastLoudness = 0
sound.SoundId = "rbxassetid://697821987"
sound.Looped = true
sound:Play()
-- define a max loudness
local maxLoudness = 30
-- animate the amplitude bar
while true do
local amplitude = math.clamp(sound.PlaybackLoudness / maxLoudness, 0, 1)
print(80-(game.Workspace.CurrentCamera.FieldOfView))
bar.Size = UDim2.new(sound.PlaybackLoudness / maxLoudness, 0, 0, 0)
wait(0.00001)
local lastLoudness = 0
local PBS = ((sound.PlaybackLoudness/50)^(sound.PlaybackLoudness/50))
if lastLoudness~=0 then
local formula = math.abs((lastLoudness*15)) + ((lastLoudness+PBS)/1.9)
if (math.abs(PBS) > formula) == true then
game.Workspace.CurrentCamera.FieldOfView = (lastLoudness)
if game.Workspace.CurrentCamera.FieldOfView <= 10 then
print(formula, PBS)
else
game.Workspace.CurrentCamera.FieldOfView = 0
print(formula, PBS)
end
end
end
end
end
end
I genuinely Don't know how to fix the code, So...
Could you guys Help me?
I spent a long time (a couple of hours) on this and I'm legitimately stuck in the deepest pits of coding hell. And I want this fixed SO BADLY.
Also, Just To Clarify, The script is supposed to change FOV when sound.PlaybackLoudness ÷ 50 × sound.PlaybackLoudness ÷ 50 is over 0.

Egor Skriptunoff is right. Let me reformat your while-loop to show you why.
-- animate the amplitude bar
while true do
local amplitude = math.clamp(sound.PlaybackLoudness / maxLoudness, 0, 1)
print(80-(game.Workspace.CurrentCamera.FieldOfView))
bar.Size = UDim2.new(sound.PlaybackLoudness / maxLoudness, 0, 0, 0)
wait(0.00001)
local lastLoudness = 0
local PBS = ((sound.PlaybackLoudness/50)^(sound.PlaybackLoudness/50))
if lastLoudness~=0 then
local formula = math.abs((lastLoudness*15)) + ((lastLoudness+PBS)/1.9)
if (math.abs(PBS) > formula) == true then
game.Workspace.CurrentCamera.FieldOfView = (lastLoudness)
if game.Workspace.CurrentCamera.FieldOfView <= 10 then
print(formula, PBS)
else
game.Workspace.CurrentCamera.FieldOfView = 0
print(formula, PBS)
end
end
end
end
end -- <-- these bad boys don't go with anything
end -- <-- just remove them to get rid of the error
EDIT : Here's a more complete answer to help with your other script issues. You were resizing your animation stuff to 0 pixels tall, so you couldn't see anything.
-- to be placed in StarterPlayer > StarterPlayerScripts
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
-- wait for local player PlayerGui
local LocalPlayer = Players.LocalPlayer
local playerGui = LocalPlayer:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")
-- create a ScreenGui
local screenGui = Instance.new("ScreenGui", playerGui)
-- create a holder for our bar
local frame = Instance.new("Frame", screenGui)
frame.AnchorPoint = Vector2.new(0.0, 0.0)
frame.Position = UDim2.new(0.0, 0, 0.0, 0)
frame.Size = UDim2.new(1.0, 0, 0.0, 50) -- <-- this is no longer invisible
-- create a bar
local bar = Instance.new("Frame", frame)
bar.Position = UDim2.new(0, 0, 0, 0)
bar.Size = UDim2.new(1, 0, 1, 0)
bar.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.new(0, 1, 0)
-- create a sound
local sound = Instance.new("Sound", screenGui)
local lastLoudness = 0
sound.SoundId = "rbxassetid://697821987"
sound.Looped = true
sound:Play()
-- define a max loudness
local maxLoudness = 30.0 -- <-- this needed to be a decimal value
local lastLoudness = 0
-- animate the amplitude bar
while true do
-- PlaybackLoudness values range from 0 to 500, so downscale it
local sampledLoundness = (sound.PlaybackLoudness / 50)
local amplitude = math.clamp(sampledLoundness / maxLoudness, 0, 1)
print("sound values : ", sound.PlaybackLoudness, maxLoudness, amplitude)
-- animate the bar
bar.Size = UDim2.new(amplitude, 0, 1, 0) -- <-- this was squashed to 0 pixels
wait(0.00001)
-- create a camera shake effect
-- NOTE - not sure what the expected behavior is here, it just zooms in
local PBS = sampledLoundness ^ sampledLoundness
if lastLoudness ~=0 then
local formula = math.abs(lastLoudness * 15) + ((lastLoudness + PBS) / 1.9)
if (math.abs(PBS) > formula) == true then
game.Workspace.CurrentCamera.FieldOfView = lastLoudness
if game.Workspace.CurrentCamera.FieldOfView <= 10 then
print("FOV is less than 10 : ", formula, PBS)
else
game.Workspace.CurrentCamera.FieldOfView = 0
print("FOV forced to 0 : ", formula, PBS)
end
end
end
-- update lastLoudness and loop
lastLoudness = sampledLoundness
end

Roblox GUI Kill Brick

I'm learning LUA and trying to make a GUI that spawns a brick above the players head which kills the player if touched. I'm not sure how to to connect the Touched event to a part that's spawned in with Instance.new? Here's what I got so far!
local button = script.Parent
local function kill()
button.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(255, 0, 4)
button.parent.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(255, 0, 4)
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer.character
local killBrick = Instance.new("Part")
killBrick.Name = "Kill Brick"
killBrick.CFrame = player.Head.CFrame*CFrame.new(0,10,0)
killBrick.Parent = game.Workspace
killBrick.Color = Color3.fromRGB(255, 0, 0)
killBrick.Material = "Neon"
killBrick.BottomSurface = "Smooth"
killBrick.TopSurface = "Studs"
button.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(80, 80, 255)
button.parent.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(106, 146, 255)
end
button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(kill)
I fixed it by doing:
killBrick.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
hit.Parent.Humanoid.Health=0
end
end)

Problem showing how many studs of leght is for a part

I got a problem while testing a billboard GUI that shows how many studs of length there are for the part but it doesn't show the studs it just stays zero I tried testing with a loop but didn't work then tried with RunService but still didn't work so I got really confused because it doesn't show any error in the output so please help
The code:
function setBill(text, parent)
local Loop = {}
local BillboardGui = Instance.new("BillboardGui")
local ScreenGui = Instance.new("ScreenGui")
local Frame = Instance.new("Frame")
local TextLabel = Instance.new("TextLabel")
BillboardGui.Parent = parent
BillboardGui.ZIndexBehavior = Enum.ZIndexBehavior.Sibling
BillboardGui.Active = true
BillboardGui.AlwaysOnTop = true
BillboardGui.LightInfluence = 1.000
BillboardGui.Size = UDim2.new(0, 205, 0, 55)
BillboardGui.ResetOnSpawn = false
ScreenGui.Parent = BillboardGui
ScreenGui.ZIndexBehavior = Enum.ZIndexBehavior.Sibling
Frame.Parent = BillboardGui
Frame.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(71, 71, 71)
Frame.BackgroundTransparency = 1
Frame.BorderColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(255, 255, 255)
Frame.BorderSizePixel = 5
Frame.Size = UDim2.new(0, 150, 0, 50)
TextLabel.Parent = Frame
TextLabel.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(255, 255, 255)
TextLabel.BackgroundTransparency = 1.000
TextLabel.Size = UDim2.new(0, 150, 0, 50)
TextLabel.Font = Enum.Font.Gotham
TextLabel.TextColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(255, 255, 255)
TextLabel.TextScaled = false
TextLabel.TextSize = 24.000
TextLabel.TextWrapped = true
local function BillLoop()
while wait() do
local pos = math.floor((BillboardGui.Parent.Position - BillboardGui.Parent.Position).magnitude)
TextLabel.Text = text.." Studs : "..tostring(pos)
end
end
Loop = game:GetService("RunService").RenderStepped:Connect(BillLoop)
end
setBill("Shop", game.Workspace["test part"])
local pos = math.floor((BillboardGui.Parent.Position
- BillboardGui.Parent.Position).magnitude)
TextLabel.Text = text.." Studs : "..tostring(pos)
This is where you calculate and set the text for your TextLabel.
BillboardGui.Parent.Position is a Vector3.
BillboardGui.Parent.Position - BillboardGui.Parent.Position is (0,0,0)
The magnitude aka length of a zero vector is 0.
This is probably not what you intended to calculate.

I got an error here in main.lua: 178: attempt to index global 'pausebutton' (a nil value)

I got an error in Corona's simulator console in main.lua
attempt to index global pausebutton (a nil value)
How to solve my problem with Corona error?
The most revelant code from main.lua file I put below
-- Display the pause button
function pauseAndResume ()
local pausebutton = display.newImage ("pause.png")
pausebutton : translate(100, 100)
pausebutton:addEventListener ("touch" , pauseGame)
local resumebutton = display.newImage ("resumed.png")
resumebutton: translate(100, 100)
resumebutton.isVisible = false
resumebutton:addEventListener ("touch", resumeGame)
end
function pauseGame (event)
if (event.phase == "ended") then
physics.pause ()
pausebutton.isVisible = false
resumebutton.isVisible = true
timer.pause(fruitTimer)
timer.pause(bombTimer)
sampleVar = false
return true
end
end
function resumeGame (event)
if (event.phase == "ended") then
physics.start()
pausebutton.isVisible = true
resumebutton.isVisible = false
timer.resume(fruitTimer)
timer.resume(bombTimer)
sampleVar = true
return true
end
end
I think you got error because local variables pausebutton and resumebutton exist only during executing of pauseAndResume function. After that they gone. So you need declare them in the block in which they will be available for pauseAndResume and pauseGame functions, for example on begining of the main.lua file.
Try
local pausebutton
local resumebutton
...
-- Display the pause button
function pauseAndResume ()
pausebutton = display.newImage ("pause.png")
pausebutton : translate(100, 100)
pausebutton:addEventListener ("touch" , pauseGame)
resumebutton = display.newImage ("resumed.png")
resumebutton: translate(100, 100)
resumebutton.isVisible = false
resumebutton:addEventListener ("touch", resumeGame)
end
function pauseGame (event)
if (event.phase == "ended") then
physics.pause ()
pausebutton.isVisible = false
resumebutton.isVisible = true
timer.pause(fruitTimer)
timer.pause(bombTimer)
sampleVar = false
return true
end
end
function resumeGame (event)
if (event.phase == "ended") then
physics.start()
pausebutton.isVisible = true
resumebutton.isVisible = false
timer.resume(fruitTimer)
timer.resume(bombTimer)
sampleVar = true
return true
end
end
From Lua documentation
We create local variables with the local statement:
j = 10 -- global variable
local i = 1 -- local variable
Unlike global variables, local variables have their scope limited to
the block where they are declared. A block is the body of a control
structure, the body of a function, or a chunk (the file or string with
the code where the variable is declared).

What is wrong with the restart game function in corona

The restart game function doesn't seem to work and I don't know why. The balloons, scores resets but the game doesn't resets, i can't shoot the balloons again. (plus the askUser, yesBtn and noBtn doesn't go invisible either)
function createBalloons(a, b)
for i = 1, a do
for j = 1, b do
local balloon = display.newImage ('balloon_fat_red.png', 270+ (i * 30), 80 + (j * 50))
balloonText = display.newText(hiragana_array[x+1], 300, 125)
balloonTextt = display.newText(hiragana_array[x+2], 300, 175)
balloonTexttt = display.newText(hiragana_array[x+3], 300, 225)
balloonText:setFillColor( 1,1, 0 )
balloonTextt:setFillColor( 1,1, 0 )
balloonTexttt:setFillColor( 1,1, 0 )
balloon.name = 'balloon'
physics.addBody(balloon)
balloon.bodyType = 'static'
table.insert(balloons, balloon)
end
end
target.text = #balloons
end
function restartLvl()
for i = 1, #balloons do
display.remove(balloons[i])
print ("restart level")
end
score.text = '0'
ballRemain.text = '3'
balloons = {}
createBalloons(1, 3)
askUser.isVisible = false
yesBtn.isVisible = false
noBtn.isVisible = false
print("time from start: ", (system.getTimer()-gameTime))
print('send mail')
sendMail()
end
This is what it shows in the simulator.
I'm not seeing any problem with that code, my guess is the problem is elsewhere. You're going to have to dig a little more, maybe put some more print statements. For example maybe isVisible is being reset to true by another function, after the restartLvl, like in an enterFrame handler.

How to utilize combo scoring in Corona?

i just have a quick question. Im playing around with Corona to try and get the look and feel of it and im currently editing some one else's sample code. I have added a scoring mechanism, and now i want to add a combo scoring mechanism so that when the user chops more than one fruit, i can add an extra 5 points. Its just that i have no idea how to start. If some one would point me in the right direction that would be great thank you. :)
Or if this would be much clearer: How about a function that will help me detect how many objects the user touches/slices in one touch/move?
