Error end spected near <eof>

[Elmatus]

I had this script and the console outputs:

SCRIPT ERROR: puertas\script.lua:32: 'end' expected near 'else'

But I can't find the sintax error.

Please help me:

thisi s the code:

  
  
local initPos = 1236.6999511719, 2108.8999023438, 8.6000003814697 
local finaPos = 1236.6999511719, 2108.8999023438, 3.0999999046326 
  
  
function createTheGate() 
  
gate = createObject ( 980, 1236.6999511719, 2108.8999023438, 8.6000003814697, 0, 0, 270 )               
 end 
  
addEventHandler ("onResourceStart", getRootElement, createTheGate) 
  
  
  
function moveTheGate () 
               
if ( getElementPosition (gate) == initPos ) then           
  
  moveObject ( gate, 5000, finaPos ) 
end 
  
  
 if ( getElementPosition (gate) ==  finaPos ) then 
  
moveObject ( gate, 5000, initPos)  
   
end 
  
  
  
 else 
  
  
outputChatBox ( "#ff0000 The gate is moving!", client ) 
  
end 
  
end 
  
addCommandHandler ("gate", moveTheGate)

Delete one end in line 39, but i think you forgot one if.

That 'else' you have there is the problem, to use an 'else' you need to first use an 'if' statement.

Change "else if" to "elseif".

Oh I think i get it

I was writting:

if  xxxx then 
xxxxx 
end 
else 
xxxxx 

But it was:

if xxxxx then 
xxxx 
else 
xxxx 
end 

The "The gate is moving" Is when the door is not in initPos or in finaPos, so the door is opening, you have to wait to stop moving.

So its

  
  
local initPos = 1236.6999511719, 2108.8999023438, 8.6000003814697 
local finaPos = 1236.6999511719, 2108.8999023438, 3.0999999046326 
  
  
function createTheGate() 
  
gate = createObject ( 980, 1236.6999511719, 2108.8999023438, 8.6000003814697, 0, 0, 270 )               
 end 
  
addEventHandler ("onResourceStart", getRootElement, createTheGate) 
  
  
  
function moveTheGate () 
              
if ( getElementPosition (gate) == initPos ) then           
  
  moveObject ( gate, 5000, finaPos ) 
  
  
 elseif ( getElementPosition (gate) ==  finaPos ) then 
  
moveObject ( gate, 5000, initPos) 
  
  
 else 
  
  
outputChatBox ( "#ff0000 The gate is moving!", client ) 
  
end 
  
end 
  
addCommandHandler ("gate", moveTheGate)

Change getRootElement to resourceRoot.
