So my script i need to perform the function, Breakoff when the mph is at 0

I get error: then expected near =

local parachute = createObject(3131, 0, 0, 0) 
function Break(thePlayer) 
    if (not isPedInVehicle(thePlayer)) then return end 
    local vehicle = getPedOccupiedVehicle(thePlayer) 
    local handling = getVehicleHandling(vehicle) 
    setElementData(vehicle, "slowing", vehicle) 
    setVehicleHandling(vehicle, "brakeDeceleration", 20.08) 
    setVehicleHandling(vehicle, "tractionMultiplier", 1.08) 
    attachElements(parachute, vehicle, 0, -1.2, -0.1, 80, 0, 0) 
end 
addCommandHandler ( "break", Break ) 
  
function Breakoff(vehicle) 
    getElementVelocity(vehicle) 
  if mph = 0 then 
    local handling = getElementData(vehicle, "slowing") 
    setVehicleHandling(vehicle, "brakeDeceleration", slowing) 
    setVehicleHandling(vehicle, "tractionMultiplier", slowing) 
    detachElements(parachute) 
 end 
end

function getElementSpeed(element,unit) 
    if (unit == nil) then unit = 0 end 
    if (isElement(element)) then 
        local x,y,z = getElementVelocity(element) 
        if (unit=="mph" or unit==1 or unit =='1') then 
            return (x^2 + y^2 + z^2) ^ 0.5 * 100 
        else 
            return (x^2 + y^2 + z^2) ^ 0.5 * 1.61 * 100 
        end 
    else 
        outputDebugString("Not an element. Can't get speed") 
        return false 
    end 
end 
  
local parachute = createObject(3131, 0, 0, 0) 
function Break(thePlayer) 
    if (not isPedInVehicle(thePlayer)) then return end 
    local vehicle = getPedOccupiedVehicle(thePlayer) 
    local handling = getVehicleHandling(vehicle) 
    setElementData(vehicle, "slowing", vehicle) 
    setVehicleHandling(vehicle, "brakeDeceleration", 20.08)

error ) expected near =

[Castillo]

I wonder some times if people is just stupid or just cannot think.

How I'm supposed to fix it if you don't tell me in what line is the error...?

[joedajoester]

It doesnt say what line.

[Evil-Cod3r]

if (unit =="mph" or unit ==1 or unit =='1') then 

[Castillo]

if (unit =="mph" or unit ==1 or unit =='1') then 

That makes no sense, no offense but it has nothing to do with that.

@joedajoester: Copy my code again, I found the error.

P.S: It does say the line here.

[joedajoester]

The object does not disappear. And was it line 30? It usually says error at line __ this time it didnt.

[Castillo]

It should detach it, not destroy it.

[joedajoester]

It stays attached to the car.

[joedajoester]

It doesnt remove parachute or change the handling back to normal.
