Maybe you can explain what you are trying to do and copy here the code, so people will be able to help you better, without having to do too much search and testing.

You should check out Lumina stickied post about how to ask for help and try again

Lua is case sensitive. Are you trying to give your character "Healtorch" or "healtorch"?
