(fixed)Could need some help with a custom Character (fixed)

[MillaBasset]

Hello!

So... Lua is new to me and I am currently doing my own character for Dont Starve Together.

Because my friends have more character focused of supporting and to surrive, i wanted to make a more "offensive" character. After a long time I thought about a robot who is a furnace and eat wood / twigs /grass and e.t.c.

But currently my biggest problem is to add the food or to be more specific the code (which i think is working from other topics) crashes my game upon loading the character:

It is pretty obvious that a "(" is missing, so of course i added on:

Then that happend. I tried to copy the original script (cus I am still a newb in Lua). I would like to the what-ever-is-called clean way (adding stuffs in mainmod instead of adding more lua files) for future mods.

Here is the code from Mainmod(with the barcket removed to original) :

    Asset( "IMAGE", "images/saveslot_portraits/esctemplate.tex" ),

The Mainmod.lua is currently the most important think for me to fix first. I am totally aware of the error in the player.lua. (If you want to help me with the player.lua i would be grateful)

To finish my little novel, I really appreciate any help and future tips for modding and to erase the mistake from the Mainmod.

all your AddPrefabPostInit are missing the ) at the end of the whole line.

example: red is what's missing, green is the bracket that is related to the missing red bracket

AddPrefabPostInit("Log", function(inst) inst:AddComponent("edible") inst.components.edible.foodtype = GLOBAL.FOODTYPE.BUURN inst.components.edible.healthvalue = 5 inst.components.edible.sanityvalue = 5 inst.components.edible.hungervalue = 15 end)

Huh... You have my thanks. I also found out what i was doing wrong. I closed the bracket but removed the end (even placed it outside one time) but damn, after all this despairment such little thing changed everything.

But real talk now, Thank you very much. I have no idea why i never tried letting the end in. i tried so many locations to close the bracket, but sometimes the simple thinks are the correct one

Also Thanks for this quick answer
