Unexpected symbol near '.'
I tried changing to ansi, but it didn't work.
it is in line 5: unexpected symbol near '.'
side = { 0, Arena.width }
function Update()
local chasingbullet = CreateProjectile('bullet', myTable[ math.random( #myTable )], math.random(0, Arena.height))
local chasingbullet.SetVar('speed', 0)
local dist = Player.x - chasingbullet.x
local speed = chasingbullet.GetVar('xspeed') / 2 + xdifference / 100
chasingbullet.Move(speed, 0)
chasingbullet.SetVar('speed', speed)
end
every place i search, don't help me and say that the code is normal
function variables lua

It's a Syntax / Parsing Error: so, which line and which part of the line? After identifying what the error message is referring to, why does the error make sense? Hint: something aboutlocaland what variables are what variables are not.

local chasingbullet.SetVar('speed', 0) has a syntax error. local can only be followed by a variable name or list of names and an optional equals sign and list of expressions; for example:
local a
local a = 1
local a, b
local a, b = 1, 2
local a, b = 1
So the parser is okay with local chasingbullet, but then it sees the dot (.) and complains because a dot is not allowed there. To fix the error, just remove local: chasingbullet.SetVar('speed', 0).
