Lua spitting out random numbers?!

Hi there, I have this program, however whenever i try and run it, it spits out random numbers?

I have no idea why! The login seems to work, but the rest dosn't run, and then lua spits out random numbers, which is why i have put the login as a note.

Any help is much appreactiated. :)/>

You got errors in your if blocks in multiple places.

An if statements must have 1 if and only 1 end. You can have as many elseif's as you want but can only have you else and it must be the last portion of the block.

Example if statement.

if a == b then
  --do some stuff
elseif a == c then
  --do other stuff
else
  --nothing else matched so do this
end

EDIT: the }} is probably causing issues as well. What are you trying to do with them? Are you trying to comment out that entire block? if so try using [[ ]] instead.

But those secondary if blocks are within that if and then they end that if. So, like an If within an if, unless Lau dosnt understand that, but I've even doing that for ages, so I can't understand why it's giving me errors now?!

EDIT: DERP! I think I had one too many ends, but that still dson't explain why it was giving me random numbers… Hmm, odd. But thanks for the help. It's always a great thought that if I get stuck, I can come here for support.

Thanks again!

If you want people to stop being confused, use indentation.

No indentation (horrible):

if a then
while b == false do
local c = dosomethingelse()
repeat
c = dosomethingelse()
until c == false
end
end

With indentation:

if a then
  while b == false do
    local c = dosomethingelse()
    repeat
      c = dosomethingelse()
    until c == false
  end
end

It will also make it easier to spot missing/too many "ends".

In addition to this…

Since this forum doesn't preserve indentation when copy/pasting for long code try to use pastebin, it beats the hell out of trying to manually indent it all just for the forums…

And that's why every "pro" loves pastebin
