Syntax error: player.lua:11: '=' expected near '<eof>' - lua

I have recently been learning Lua with Love2d, so I decided to start making a simple RPG. It's quite simple. The console is where you play, and the extra window is where you can see your stats, equip items, ect.
But, I have run into a problem! Whenever I run the code, I see this main.lua:15: '=' expected near 'else'
I will include the code (all 3 files) below.
This is main.lua
function love.load()
love.graphics.setBackgroundColor( 255, 255, 255 )
require("player")
print("Enter your name")
pcStats.Name = io.read()
print("What class are you, " .. pcStats.Name .. "?")
pcStats.Class = io.read()
if pcStats.Class == "Ranger" then
os.execute("cls")
pcInv.InvSpace = 10
pcInv.Items.basicBow = Basic Bow
else
print("Error: Invalid Class. Please restart game")
end
print("What would you like to do? CODE END")
input = io.read()
end
function love.draw()
love.graphics.setColor( 0, 0, 0 )
love.graphics.print( "Level: " .. pcStats.Level, 1, 1 )
love.graphics.print( "Inv Space: " .. pcInv.InvSpace, 1, 20 )
love.graphics.print( "Inv: " .. pcInv.Items, 1, 40 )
end
Here is player.lua This is where the game variables are stored
pcStats = {}
pcStats.Level = 1
pcStats.XP = nil
pcStats.Name = nil
pcStats.Class = nil
pcStats.Atk = nil
pcStats.Def = nil
pcInv = {}
pcInv.InvSpace = nil
pcInv.Items.testsword = testing sword
And last but not least, here is the conf.lua used for love2d
function love.conf(t)
t.modules.joystick = true
t.modules.audio = true
t.modules.keyboard = true
t.modules.event = true
t.modules.image = true
t.modules.graphics = true
t.modules.timer = true
t.modules.mouse = true
t.modules.sound = true
t.modules.thread = true
t.modules.physics = true
t.console = true
t.title = "Lua RPG Alpha v0.0.1"
t.author = "Zach Herzer"
end

Line 15 is this:
pcInv.Items.basicBow = Basic Bow
Basic Bow isn't valid Lua code. I am pretty sure you meant something else - perhaps a string?
pcInv.Items.basicBow = "Basic Bow"
While we're at it,
pcInv.Items.testsword = testing sword
has a similar problem.

Parenthesis always come in pairs. The error message already strongly suggests that you are missing a closing parenthesis for an opening one in line 38.

Use a text editor that autocompletes pairs or even better one that hightlights pairs in matching colors to avoid errors like this.

roblox studio: TextBox.Text returns ""

I was making custom chat system and I faced this "bug".
just textbox returns "", not nil.
and there is no any error. even without
string.len(script.Parent.Parent.message.Text) > 0
"if" part.
local db = false
local TextService = game:GetService("TextService")
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function ()
local plr = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent
local dn = plr.Character.Humanoid.DisplayName
local muted = script.Parent.muted.Value
local mod = script.Parent.moderator.Value
if db == false and muted == false and string.len(script.Parent.Parent.message.Text) > 0 then
db = true
local ts = 16
local msg = script.Parent.Parent.chat.message0:Clone()
--problem line
msg.messageContent.Text = TextService:FilterStringAsync(script.Parent.Parent.message.Text, plr.UserId, "2")
if string.len(script.Parent.Parent.message.Text) > 130 then
ts = 14
end
msg.messageContent.TextSize = ts
--problem ends
local ps = msg.prefixes
ps.bot.Visible = false
local counter = game.ReplicatedStorage.ChatBlockStorage.counter.Value
msg.Name = "message" .. counter
msg.actualName.Text = "#" .. plr.Name
msg.displayName.Text = dn
msg.icon.Image = game.Players:GetUserThumbnailAsync(plr.UserId, Enum.ThumbnailType.HeadShot, Enum.ThumbnailSize.Size420x420)
msg.icon.ResampleMode = "Default"
if script.Parent.Parent.message.customIcon.locked.Visible == false then
msg.icon.Image = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=" .. script.Parent.Parent.message.customIcon.Text
end
if msg.Name == "message1" then
mod = true
end
if mod == true then
ps.mod.Visible = true
end
counter += 1
script.Parent.Parent.message.Text = ""
wait(game.ReplicatedStorage.ChatBlockStorage.waitTime.Value)
db = false
end
end)
any ideas how to fix it?
Use the FocustLost event. Here is the roblox documentation on it.
Example:
script.Parent.FocusLost:Connect(function(enterPressed)
if enterPressed then
print("Focus was lost because enter was pressed!")
end
end)
Near the end of the code, you write
script.Parent.Parent.message.Text = ""
Would this not be the cause?
maybe you can do tostring(msg)?
this prob wont work
tostring("i like beans")
read more on strings here:https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/articles/String
read more on tostring() here: https://devforum.roblox.com/t/what-does-assert-and-tostring-do/1047653
(none are people i know but i looked through them and they have valid info)
good luck my brother

Why does this Int Value keep coming back after it is set? [Roblox Studio]

I'm sorry if this is a really simple or easy question, but I am trying to set the player leaderstat "Money" to 0, but it keeps coming back as the old value. The only thing that I can think of that may be causing this problem is that the moneyGain script is on repeat.
Here is my moneyGain script:
local playerMoney
while wait(0.24) do
local buttons = script.Parent.Parent.info.savedItems.Value.buttons:GetChildren()
for button = 1, #buttons, 1 do
if buttons[button].Parent.Parent.tycoon.Value ~= nil then
if buttons[button].Parent.Parent.tycoon.Value.info.owner ~= nil then
if buttons[button].jobDone.Value == true then
script.Parent.moneyEnforcer.enforce:Invoke(buttons[button].gainVal.Value)
end
end
end
end
--OWNERDOOR:
if script.Parent.Parent.info.owner.Value ~= nil then
script.Parent.moneyEnforcer.enforce:Invoke(1)
end
end
Here is my moneyEnforcer script:
local rs = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local dictionary = require(rs.dictionary)
local vipPlayers = dictionary.vipPlayers
script.enforce.OnInvoke = function(amount)
print(amount)
if script.Parent.Parent.info.player.Value ~= nil then
if game:GetService("GamePassService"):PlayerHasPass(script.Parent.Parent.info.player.Value, 25494219) then
amount = amount * 2
else
for i = 1, #vipPlayers, 1 do
if script.Parent.Parent.info.player.Value.Name == vipPlayers[i] then
amount = amount * 2
end
end
end
local playerMoney = script.Parent.Parent.info.player.Value.leaderstats.Money
script.Parent.Parent.info.player.Value.leaderstats.Money.Value = script.Parent.Parent.info.player.Value.leaderstats.Money.Value + amount
end
end
And here is the tycoon reseter:
local player = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent
script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Visible = false
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
player.leaderstats.Money.Value = 0
script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Visible = false
local savedItems = player.claimedTycoon.Value.info.savedItems.Value
local builds = player.claimedTycoon.Value.activeBuilds:GetChildren()
local buttons = player.claimedTycoon.Value.activeButtons:GetChildren()
for i = 1, #builds, 1 do
builds[i].Parent = savedItems.builds
end
for j = 1, #buttons, 1 do
buttons[j].Parent = savedItems.buttons
end
savedItems.builds.dirtStarterBase.Parent = player.claimedTycoon.Value
player.claimedTycoon.Value.info:WaitForChild("activeWave").Value = 1
end)
I have tried putting the "script.Parent.Parent.info.player.Value.leaderstats.Money.Value = script.Parent.Parent.info.player.Value.leaderstats.Money.Value + amount" on the moneyGain script, but that made no difference.
Any help is appriciated!
I believe your problem is that you're setting the value of money from the client. When you change the value from a local script, it will not update on the server. To fix this update the value from the server
In tycoon reseter, try resetting the value from the server using a RemoteEvent

Garry's mod lua code error not working (Entity X, got nil)

I tried to fix some Garry's Mod addon and this is what happens. I tried to fix it for long time, but I'm not the best in Lua coding :/ . What is wrong with this code? I get this error:

Is there a chance someone fix this for me? Or even just telling me what's wrong? I would be pleased. If needed I can send all files. Well... It's not my addon but I'm trying to fix an existing one. Someone tried to fix it too but he didn't (actually he broke it even more).
What the error means
Inside your ENT:Think() function, you are calling ent:SetPhysicsAttacker(ply)
ply is not defined anywhere inside that function, so is nil (Entity expected, got nil)
How to fix this
If no player is responsible for the damage caused by this entity, delete the line ent:SetPhysicsAttacker(ply).
Otherwise, assign an Owner to the entity at the point of creation, using SetOwner.
This would then allow you to use self:GetOwner() inside your Think hook
Example
hook.Add("PlayerSay", "SpawnEntity", function(ply, text)
if string.lower(text) == "!spawnentity" then
-- Create your entity
local myEntity = ents.Create("gb5_shockwave_sound_lowsh")
myEntity:SetPos(ply:GetPos())
myEntity:SetAngles(ply:GetAngles())
myEntity:Spawn()
-- Sets the owner to the player that typed the command
myEntity:SetOwner(ply)
return ""
end
end)
-- Inside your entity code
function ENT:Think()
print("My owner is: " .. tostring(self:GetOwner()))
-- ...
ent:SetPhysicsAttacker(self:GetOwner())
end

How to implement the exercise 15.5 in pil4?

I am working on this exercise in pil4.
Exercise 15.5:
The approach of avoiding constructors when saving tables with cycles is too radical. It is
possible to save the table in a more pleasant format using constructors for the simple case, and to use
assignments later only to fix sharing and loops. Reimplement the function save (Figure 15.3, “Saving
tables with cycles”) using this approach. Add to it all the goodies that you have implemented in the previous
exercises (indentation, record syntax, and list syntax).
I have tried this with the code below, but it seems not to work on the nested table with a string key.
local function basicSerialize(o)
-- number or string
return string.format("%q",o)
end
local function save(name,value,saved,indentation,isArray)
indentation = indentation or 0
saved = saved or {}
local t = type(value)
local space = string.rep(" ",indentation + 2)
local space2 = string.rep(" ",indentation + 4)
if not isArray then io.write(name," = ") end
if t == "number" or t == "string" or t == "boolean" or t == "nil" then
io.write(basicSerialize(value),"\n")
elseif t == "table" then
if saved[value] then
io.write(saved[value],"\n")
else
if #value > 0 then
if indentation > 0 then io.write(space) end
io.write("{\n")
end
local indexes = {}
for i = 1,#value do
if type(value[i]) ~= "table" then
io.write(space2)
io.write(basicSerialize(value[i]))
else
local fname = string.format("%s[%s]",name,i)
save(fname,value[i],saved,indentation + 2,true)
end
io.write(",\n")
indexes[i] = true
end
if #value > 0 then
if indentation > 0 then io.write(space) end
io.write("}\n")
else
io.write("{}\n")
end
saved[value] = name
for k,v in pairs(value) do
if not indexes[k] then
k = basicSerialize(k)
local fname = string.format("%s[%s]",name,k)
save(fname,v,saved,indentation + 2)
io.write("\n")
end
end
end
else
error("cannot save a " .. t)
end
end
local a = { 1,2,3, {"one","Two"} ,5, {4,b = 4,5,6} ,a = "ddd"}
local b = { k = a[4]}
local t = {}
save("a",a,t)
save("b",b,t)
print()
And I got the wrong ouput.
a = {
1,
2,
3,
{
"one",
"Two",
}
,
5,
{
4,
5,
6,
}
a[6]["b"] = 4
,
}
a["a"] = "ddd"
b = {}
b["k"] = a[4]
How could I make the text ' a[6]["b"] = 4 ' jump out of the table constructor?
