FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

i always get a error

init.lua:488: ')' expected (to close '(' at line 444) near 'if'

i really blind and already starring since hours on this code, i cant figure out where is the mistake...

can somebody give me a hint....

code is:

minetest.register_on_placenode(function(pos, newnode, placer)

if newnode.name == "deko:deko_wallbase" then

--param.2 detects the state that this object is placed in and stores it
local state = newnode.param2

--this makes the game generate a random number
local i = math.random(1,4)

--removes the dekobase
if minetest.env:remove_node(pos) then

--this statement tells the game if it stops on this number this painting will be selected
if i==1 then

minetest.env:add_node(pos, {name="deko:deko_wallpaper1",param2=state})

end

if i==2 then

minetest.env:add_node(pos, {name="deko:deko_wallpaper2",param2=state})

end

if i==3 then

minetest.env:add_node(pos, {name="deko:deko_wallpaper3",param2=state})

end

if i==4 then

minetest.env:add_node(pos, {name="deko:deko_wallpaper4",param2=state})

end

end

end
end


if newnode.name == "deko:deko_shieldbase" then

--param.2 detects the state that this object is placed in and stores it
local state = newnode.param2

--this makes the game generate a random number
local i = math.random(1,4)

--removes the dekobase
if minetest.env:remove_node(pos) then


if i==1 then

minetest.env:add_node(pos, {name="deko:deko_shield1",param2=state})

end

if i==2 then

minetest.env:add_node(pos, {name="deko:deko_shield2",param2=state})

end

if i==3 then

minetest.env:add_node(pos, {name="deko:deko_shield3",param2=state})

end

if i==4 then

minetest.env:add_node(pos, {name="deko:deko_shield4",param2=state})

end

end
end

)

can't see any error there could you paste the full init.lua into pastebin.com and I'll take another look for you.

okay... hope this works

here schould be the init.lua http://pastebin.com/uMjdDPLz

i guess somewhere i miss a ( or a ) ... or put one to much... starting somewhere behind line 444 ..

Ahh wait sorry I just re-read your original post and noticed you have 1 too many end's in the top if statement.

Sorry for getting you to pastebin the full code ^_^ lol

EDIT: Sorry I meant top if statement the "if newnode.name == "deko:deko_wallbase" then" one ^_^

EDIT2: So basically replace the code you pasted in your first post with this:



EDIT3: Oh also you where missing an end from the end of your function, I've updated my pasted version above. I also cleaned up your indentation ^_^ sorry lol.

Sorry about all the edits I'm back and forth between work ^_^

@dannydark

10000000000000000000000000000 times thank to you...

i really hat hurting eyes and could not see the "end" in the forrest of "end's" anymore...

now its working, just a mistake with the textures of the added shields... only one has full transparency ...

Haha no problem mate glad I could help, btw one thing that helps with situations like this is correct indentation on your code ^_^ plus using correct code indentation should also improve your writing speed :D
