title: ROBLOX Lua Error in script: '=' expected near '<eof>'
body: <p>Hello I am writing a scipt on ROBLOX and I have encountered a problem.</p>
  
  <pre><code>function showVictoryMessage(playerName)
      local message = Instance.new("Message")
      message.Text = playerName .." has won!"
      message.Parent = game.Workspace
      wait (2)
      message.Destroy()
  end
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Upon running this function, or more specifically the "message.Destroy" command, I get the error: Error in script: '=' expected near '&lt; eof >'</p>
  
  <p>I have never seen this error before, and the ROBLOX wiki page on Lua errors doesn't mention it.</p>
  
  <p>I would very much appreciate help in this, because I don't personally know anyone who has coded in Lua.</p>
