CMD error

[Go Hard]

So like i've been told. I've looked into lua scripting and it's going good so far, but all of a sudden when i use the "Luac -o ArcRace1.lur ScriptName.lua " code in cmd to compile, i get an error message that reads: "luarscript.lua:14: unexpected symbol near "-".
Any help would be great thanks. It was working like 10 minutes ago, now it just comes up with that.

Which means something is wrong around line 14 in your script. Look for any mistakes you made like missing " " or closing your codes with ( ). If you can find the problem directly post your script and we can try to fix it

Like Lemon said.
If u dont find the problem then post the script.

Thanks guys, everyone is pretty supportive on here. Glad i joined, i'll be back on there soon so i'll be sure to post it if i don't figure out what i did.

Right okay guys, this is just the basic script i got off SWEGTA and i added a few things to it:


ImportScript("\\Library\\LibTable.lua") -- imports the LibTable library
ImportScript("\\Library\\LibPed.lua") -- imports the LibPed library
local l_0_0 = false
 
MissionSetup = function() -- basic mission setup function which is used in almost all bully scripts
  local l_1_0 = 270 -- X coords
  local l_1_1 = -110 -- Y coords
  local l_1_2 = 6.4000000953674 -- Z coords
 
  PlayerSetHealth(700) -- gives the player 700 health
  AreaTransitionXYZ(0, l_1_0, l_1_1, l_1_2)
  DisablePunishmentSystem = TRUE
 
 TextPrintString("BodyGuard Mod Test", 4, 1) -

  Bif = PedCreateXYZ(33, l_1_0 +1, l_1_1 +1, l_1_2+1)
  PedRecruitAlly(gplayer, Bif)
  PedSetWeapon(Bif, 324,1) -
  Darby = PedCreateXYZ(37, l_1_0 +2, l_1_1 +2, l_1_2+2)
  PedRecruitAlly(Bif, Darby)
end
 
MissionCleanup = function()
end -- end statement
 
main = function() -- Main mission function
  repeat
    Wait(0)
  until l_0_0 ~= false
  Wait(3000)
  MissionSucceed()
end


I removed the Text thing and now i get line 16 error with the bif weapon thing, can someone tell me how to spawn him with a sledgehammer?

Thanks a lot man! works great.

[c00ld0c26]

Shit, was AFK
lol I was gonna fix there.
Oh well, Red did the work, good job Red.

Could anyone possibly tell me where i went wrong and why you changed the things you did? Sorry am a proper noob to this haha.

I am probably guessing line 14 was around this code..
DisablePunishmentSystem = TRUE

Red fixed the code to look like this
DisablePunishmentSystem(true)

[Go Hard]

Oh okay, thanks. What about at the top? "local bif = nill"? Cheers again.

[WhenLifeGivesYouLemons]

Oh okay, thanks. What about at the top? "local bif = nill"? Cheers again.

nil with one L lol thats so the name Bif can be local in LUA

[Go Hard]

Lmao, thanks man.

Where did you go wrong? I will write the parts in red (no pun intended).

Right okay guys, this is just the basic script i got off SWEGTA and i added a few things to it:


ImportScript("\\Library\\LibTable.lua") -- imports the LibTable library
ImportScript("\\Library\\LibPed.lua") -- imports the LibPed library
local l_0_0 = false
 
MissionSetup = function() -- basic mission setup function which is used in almost all bully scripts
  local l_1_0 = 270 -- X coords
  local l_1_1 = -110 -- Y coords
  local l_1_2 = 6.4000000953674 -- Z coords
 
  PlayerSetHealth(700) -- gives the player 700 health
  AreaTransitionXYZ(0, l_1_0, l_1_1, l_1_2)
  DisablePunishmentSystem = TRUE This should be DisablePunishmentSystem(true)
 
 TextPrintString("BodyGuard Mod Test", 4, 1) - Why is there a dash here? That's what caused the unexpected symbol message

  Bif = PedCreateXYZ(33, l_1_0 +1, l_1_1 +1, l_1_2+1) To be safe, always define a local meant for a character spawn as nil in the beginning of the script, as I did
  PedRecruitAlly(gplayer, Bif)
  PedSetWeapon(Bif, 324,1) - Again, why the dash?
  Darby = PedCreateXYZ(37, l_1_0 +2, l_1_1 +2, l_1_2+2)
  PedRecruitAlly(Bif, Darby)
end
 
MissionCleanup = function()
end -- end statement
 
main = function() -- Main mission function
  repeat
    Wait(0)
  until l_0_0 ~= false
  Wait(3000)
  MissionSucceed()
end

Hahaha, random dashes FTW! Nahh:P thanks dude, helps a lot.
