Having Lua error

[Loukiria]

Okay, so, i'm  an begginner at lua coding and I wanted to make an lua script which allow you to have "trail" on player but all I am having is this :
[ERROR] addons/ulx-master/lua/ulx/modules/sh/trail.lua:5: ')' expected near 'v'
  1. unknown - addons/ulx-master/lua/ulx/modules/sh/trail.lua:0

You can paste the code in instead of attaching it. Also

Code: Lua

1. ULib.tsay( calling_ply v:Nick .. " is dead!", true )
2.  

Do you see anything missing? Maybe a comma?

oh, darn, I didnt saw it, Thank for the answer but the error is still here but differently this time :
[ERROR] addons/ulx-master/lua/ulx/modules/sh/trail.lua:5: function arguments expected near '..'
  1. unknown - addons/ulx-master/lua/ulx/modules/sh/trail.lua:0

also I am new here and  dont really know how to put the code here

[Loukiria]

Nevermind, I found another error but still getting error :
[ERROR] addons/ulx-master/lua/ulx/modules/sh/trail.lua:12: '<eof>' expected near 'end'
  1. unknown - addons/ulx-master/lua/ulx/modules/sh/trail.lua:0


I corrected these parts :
         ULib.tsay( calling_ply, v:Nick() .. "is dead!", true )

You have an extra end on line 9

Updated code

Code: Lua

1. function ulx.trail( calling_ply, target_plys, string_arg )
2.  
3.         for _, v in ipairs( target_plys ) do
4.                 if not v:Alive() then
5.                         ULib.tsay( calling_ply, v:Nick .. "is dead!", true )
6.                         return
7.                 else
8.                         local trail = util.SpriteTrail( ply, 0, Color( math.Rand(0,255), math.Rand(0,255), math.Rand(0,225) ), fasle, 100, 0, 3, 1/(100)*0.5, "trails/plasma.vmt" )
9.                 end
10.         end
11.         ulx.fancyLogAdmin( calling_ply, "#A turned #T into a smoke", target_plys )
12. end
13.  
14. local trail = ulx.command( "Fun", "ulx trail", ulx.trail, "!trail" )
15. trail:addParam{ type=ULib.cmds.PlayersArg }
16. trail:defaultAccess( ULib.ACCESS_ADMIN )
17.

Everything work, thanks, you guys are greats
anyways, I have one question
I wonder if it is possible to make the trail to be the "colors of the skin" like, I choosed red and the trail is red and more ... ?

For sure! Have a look at the following function: Player:GetPlayerColor.

Though the name of this function is a bit misleading, because Player:GetPlayerColor doesn't return a Color but a Vector! You still have to convert it ToColor.
