createBlipAttachedTo

[Predator]

Hi all,

I'm trying to make a script that when an Admin spawns his blip color gets black, and when he dies/quits it(the blip) destroys..

My script:

addEventHandler ( "onPlayerSpawn", getRootElement(),createBlipAttachedTo ) 
function createBlipAttachedTo 
local account = getPlayerAccount(source) 
 if (not account or isGuestAccount(account)) then return end 
 local accountName = getAccountName(account) 
 if ( isObjectInACLGroup ( "user.".. accountName, aclGetGroup ( "Admin" ) ) ) then 
        if isElement ( playerBlips[source] ) then 
            destroyElement ( playerBlips[source] ) 
        end 
        playerBlips[source] = createBlip ( 0, 2, 0, 0, 0, 255, 0, 99999.0, 0 ) 
        attachElements ( playerBlips[source], source ) 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerQuit", getRootElement(), 
    function() 
        destroyElement ( playerBlips[source] ) 
        playerBlips[source] = nil 
    end 
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerWasted", getRootElement(), 
    function() 
        destroyElement ( playerBlips[source] ) 
        playerBlips[source] = nil 
    end 

But it doesn't work..

Error:

SCRIPT ERROR: customblips\Admin.lua:3: '<' expected near 'if' 

Anyone can help?

Thanks in advance
