This problem is caused by editing lua scripts in an editor that adds extra whitespaces to the code which normally are not visible unless editing with a IDE like notepad++ or another programmer's editor. This will happen if you edit lua code in normal notepad or with anything in microsoft office like word for example. Best to avoid editing with any of those tools and stick to a programmer's editor of your choice like notepad++ or another editor that supports editing lua.
I will be releasing asap my custom version of a lua code editor for bully scripting only which will make editing code for bully far easier and help modders keep their code a bit neater as well. Due to being busy atm with outside projects I can't put a exact eta on this but the editor is about 90% done and just needs some tweaking and a little more testing before it is ready.
