I am having a weird but simple error in my code and I was wondering if anyone would be able to help me fix this. I'll upload my error message and the code with this post. Thanks for any help!

Syntax error: main.lua:164: 'then' expected near '='

Here is the offending code,

Code: Select all

if firetype = "Minigun" then
	baseRate = 0.75
elseif firetype = "Laser" then
	baseRate = 0.6
end

it's because you accidentally used assignment = instead of comparison == in an if statement.

Code: Select all

if firetype == "Minigun" then
	baseRate = 0.75
elseif firetype == "Laser" then
	baseRate = 0.6
end

I still do that mistake.
Every.
Single.
Time.

Can't kill some habits.
