I am making a restart screen and I get this error:

I don’t understand what this error means .what is the problem .How do I fix it?

Thank you.

trueisawesome,

The error code shows you what the error is and gives a line number about the error.

bouncy blocks\restart.lua:54: ‘end’ expected (to close ‘function’ at line 4) near ‘<eof>’

Now, this is a common error and the problem is it is ‘very misleading’ : the error is not at line 54 and not on line 4, just anywhere and maybe several place in between those lines. This error (as far as I have ever experienced) is going to be about a misplaced or missing ‘end’ for a function or if statement. Every function and every if statement needs and ‘end’ at this proper place.

I see I can give you a quick answer and tell you the 3 or so lines to either move or delete and the problem will be fixed… BUT, but I think it best to let you find them yourself.

To help you figure this out, I can say this: 3 of the 4 ‘composer functions’ (create, show, hide, destroy) have the function definition and then the end statement… but no code in between. What code do you want to be in each of those functions… figure that out and put the code between the ‘function definition’ and the ‘end’ statement.

Where do you think ‘local sceneGroup = self.view’ code belongs? Why is it repeated 4- times in the code?

Hint:4 is the same number of composer functions in the code.

Good luck!

Bob

Actually you seem to have an extra end on line 5.

cyberparkstudios · July 3, 2015, 2:47am

rob,

Line 5 is one of the lines I mention that I would delete or move… I was going to post the same short answer, but noticed after looking at the code closer he has several things wrong; and even removing just line 5 is going to still get a similar error.

Since I have noticed trueisawesome has posted several questions on the forum, I decided to give him just a nudge and a hint to help him get a better understanding of what is causing the error.

It is hard to tell for sure which code he wants to be in the scene:create function. I could guess, but probably would guess wrong. Hopefully he can take some time and look over all the code in that file, because there are several things out of place.
