Why do you expect LUA to accept broken syntax? Of course it won't work, that is not the correct syntax.

[Mr.Loki]

"(" can only be closed by another ")"

function( ) can only be closed by an end

You can't do:

(end

Or

function ( ))

you didn't understand 

i mean why i cant close "(" first before closing the function

" putting ( first then putting end in the second line "

[pa3ck]

Because the function is inside the (), if you close the () before closing off the function, it will complain about syntax error, it just won't go further on searching for the first end. That is LUA syntax and cannot be changed in any way.

@Sia Because addEventHandler is a function and you're writing the function within it. The argument in addEventHandler requires a function. You can either add a reference to your function or you can directly write your function as the argument.

function printMessage()
    outputChatBox(getPlayerName(source).." Has Spawned")
end
addEventHandler("onClientPlayerSpawn", root, printMessage) -- put the function in here

Or you could write it directly like so:

addEventHandler( "onClientPlayerSpawn", root, function() -- write the function here directly
	outputChatBox( getPlayerName(source).." Has Spawned " )
end)

-- or

addEventHandler( "onClientPlayerSpawn", root, 
	function()
		outputChatBox( getPlayerName(source).." Has Spawned " )
	end
)

-- however you prefer

You see, it's an argument so you have to close the addEventHandler function with a ) .
