Faulty end error

(Sorry if the title didn’t explain much.)

I’m trying to build a selection system. But when I add this line of code: if game.ReplicatedStorage.Input == “Built” then
it errors.

Here’s the error:
Players.exp_lol123.PlayerGui.MainHandler.BuildMain.StarterItemBody.Build.StarterSelect:17: Expected <eof>, got 'end'

I’ve added an end and it still doesn’t work.
Code:
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local mouse = player:GetMouse()
local target = mouse.Target
print(“Here”)

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	script.Parent.Delete.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
		if game.ReplicatedStorage.Input == "Built" then
			if mouse.Target == workspace.FrontRoof then	
			local SB = Instance.new("SelectionBox")
			SB.Adornee = workspace.FrontRoof
				SB.Parent = workspace.FrontRoof
				end
			end
		end)
		end)
end)

(Ignore the rest of the code)

You have an extra end) though

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local mouse = player:GetMouse()
local target = mouse.Target
print("Here")

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	script.Parent.Delete.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
		if game.ReplicatedStorage.Input == "Built" then
			if mouse.Target == workspace.FrontRoof then	
			    local SB = Instance.new("SelectionBox")
			    SB.Adornee = workspace.FrontRoof
				SB.Parent = workspace.FrontRoof
			end
		end
	end)
end)

What do you mean extra end)? Don’t see anything.

Shall I put this in bug reports…

Think of it like this, we first set up 2 individual numbers which would hold our functions/conditional checks, and ends:

  • For our functions/conditional checks, we have a total of 4
  • For our ends, we have a total of 5

If you subtract them both…

4 - 5 = -1

It’s not equal to zero, which would result as a syntax error cause you added an additional end inside your script

Thanks! Now every time I have an end error, I can look at this!

Just for reference, <eof> means end of file. The script was expecting the end of the script but instead of where the script should be ending there’s an end (closes a scope opened by function/if/do/etc). When you get this error it means that you have an extra end that you don’t need. Always why it’s a good idea to pay attention to your indenting, helps you see these issues better.

What's the point of the function end) or end?
