Topic: Function Not Ending…
I'm making a desktop program that has a login and a menu and you scroll through it, but the function that doesn't close is the one that prints the scrolling arrow. I am a novice at this sort of stuff so I would love any help you could give me.
P.S. I'm not sure if I was supposed to post the whole argument here; I'm new :P/>

First, you should post your code. No one is going to steal it.
Next,
- Do you have an os.pullEvent() hung up somewhere?
- Is there a loop not working correctly?
- If you have a loop dependent on a variable, is the variable functioning properly?
Seriously though, post some code. ;)/>

You can wait for multiple events. Check
this tutorial out. And let us know if you get stuck again ;)/>
By the way, posting your code is a good habit if you have a question about your code :P/>

Lol, well here's my code :P/>
function checkScroll6()
if Scroll == 6 then
term.setBackgroundColor(RColor)
term.setCursorPos(12,12)
term.write(">")
term.setBackgroundColor(colors.red)
term.setCursorPos(13,12)
term.write(" ")
else
term.setBackgroundColor(RColor)
term.setCursorPos(12,12)
term.write(" ")
term.setBackgroundColor(colors.green)
term.setCursorPos(13,12)
term.write(" ")
end
RColor is defined as black. So I have a function that waits for the player input and defines the Scroll variable. The function then goes through a series of functions just like this one, after a player input. This is the last of that series and it goes back to that function I mentioned earlier: Select(). I tried some other things such as putting an end after both the if and the else, I tried putting only one end after both, I tried elseif Scroll ~= 6 then instead of else, and as a last resort I tried spamming ends at the end of the function :P/>
Anyways, my point is that the function won't end, and I would appreciate help. :)/>

you only have one end, and that end is ending the 'if scroll == 6'
you also have to have an end for the function, or else it won't close, as you have experienced.

Wow, thanks. :3 It's just I tried that already and it didn't work, but the other functions didn't close and I didn't sop to read the error, I assumed it was for that one function, then I got confused, and yeah. So all my functions close now, and thank you so much! :D/>
