Can't fix problem unexpected symbol near ')' line 48

[Hornete]

I've been trying to fix this problem trying everything I can and it SHOUld work and its pretty identical to my other code but just won't work, apparently there's an unexpected symbol near my ')' at line 48 that I can't find the source of.

Any help is appreicated!

I think you're missing an 'end'?

One to close the retargetfunction and one to close the prefabpostinit.

        { "character", "monster", "animal" } )
    end     <<-- that one
 
end)

It looks like you're missing an "end" to the local function here. I've added it in where it should go in the example. Try that out.

AddPrefabPostInit("tentacle_pillar_arm", function(inst)
  local function retargetfn(inst)
   return FindEntity(inst,
        TUNING.TENTACLE_PILLAR_ARM_ATTACK_DIST,
        IsAlive,
        { "_combat", "_health" },-- see entityscript.lua
        { "tentacle_pillar_arm", "tentacle_pillar", "prey", "INLIMBO", "tentacle" },
        { "character", "monster", "animal" } )
	end -- <right here!		
 
end)

 

Are you using notepadd++ to edit the code? Here's a tip that I found helped me a lot early on. the little red/grey lines on the left show the "beginning and end" of the functions it detects. if you ever see that the grey line comes to an end at some random blank white space at the very bottom of the page, that means you're missing an "end" or a " ) " somewhere

Thank you both so much! Also pickleplayer I do use Notepad ++ But I never knew the little grey and red lines helped show the end of a function , Thanks for that tip!
