Silly Mistake

[MetaGamer]

I made a silly mistake on this code. Can anyone figure it out?

  
local newZ = getElementData ( attacker, "Zombie kills" ) 
outputChatBox( "Total Zombies killed: " .. (string)  newZ) 
  

The error is:

  
[2011-10-30 01:41:46] SCRIPT ERROR: zombies\zombie_server.lua:339: ')' expected near 'newZ' 
[2011-10-30 01:41:46] WARNING: Loading script failed: zombies\zombie_server.lua:339: ')' expected near 'newZ' 
  

Thanks in advance!

outputChatBox( "Total Zombies killed: " .. tostring( newZ ) )

    local newZ = getElementData ( attacker, "Zombie kills" ) 
    outputChatBox( "Total Zombies killed: " .. (string).. "  newZ) 
  
  
 

Maybe This

what is that (string) there?

local newZ = getElementData ( attacker, "Zombie kills" ) 
outputChatBox( "Total Zombies killed: " .. newZ)

I am actually a C# Programmer, so I thought of casting. But didn't know it doesn't work in LUA. Thank you
