Syntax error and guiding beam feedback

[oddmy]

i’m following the following tutorial but was modifying it to enable/disable based on what gear the player has (trying to make a cooking system)

Help Making Leading Arrows For a Tycoon

An easy solution to this would be to use beams. As you said you wanted a tutorial I will make you one quickly: We will first need to create a LocalScript and put it anywhere on the client, I would put it in StarterPlayerScripts. The reason why we are running this on the client is because there is no need to get the server involved and waste the servers resources on a visual thing for the player. Also running it purely on the client it will make it so only you will be able to see the arrows and…

here are my questions:

1. how do i fix the syntax error at line 21? Syntax Error: (21,10) Expected identifier when parsing variable name, got 'in'
2. is my loop scripted correctly/efficiently? for some additional context, the gear name changes to “Buldak Ramen” after the player clicks a model that isn’t a parent of “BuldakSpark,” so i want to disable the beam after they finish the recipe
3. if i wanted to make multiple beams for each step of the recipe, how would i add it to this script?

local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Char = Player.Character
local guide = game.Workspace["Cooking Kit (ramen test)"].Workspace.CookingSystem.Recipes


local function buldakGuidingArrow()
	for i,v in pairs(guide.BuldakRamenRecipe.BuldakSpark) do
		local beam = Instance.new("Beam")
		beam.Parent = v
		beam.Color = ColorSequence.new(Color3.fromRGB(0,0,0))

		local attachmentPlayer = Instance.new("Attachment")
		attachmentPlayer.Name = "guideToSeasoning"
		attachmentPlayer.Parent = Char:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")

		beam.Attachment0 = v.Attachment
		beam.Attachment1 = attachmentPlayer
	end
end

for i,v, in pairs(Player.Backpack:GetChildren()) do
	if v.Name == "Plain Ramen" then
		buldakGuidingArrow() do
		end
	end
	
	if v.Name == "Buldak Ramen" then
		guide.BuldakSpark.Beam.Enabled = false
	
	end
end

Look closely.

You misplaced a coma.

oh LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

[oddmy]

beam still doesn’t appear with this script

@oddmy

do
		end

What with this?

@oddmy

beam.Attachment1 = attachmentPlayer

Try this

beam.Attachment1 = Char:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart"):WaitForChild("RootAttachment")

[oddmy]

doesn’t work even when i remove the conditionals at the end

local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Char = Player.Character
local guide = game.Workspace["Cooking Kit (ramen test)"].Workspace.CookingSystem.Recipes


local function buldakGuidingArrow()
	for i,v in pairs(guide.BuldakRamenRecipe.BuldakSpark) do
		local beam = Instance.new("Beam")
		beam.Parent = v
		beam.Color = ColorSequence.new(Color3.fromRGB(0,0,0))
		beam.Attachment0 = v.Attachment
		beam.Attachment1 = Char:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart"):WaitForChild("RootAttachment")
	end
end
