Error parsing script @resource/file.lua
Also seen as: Error parsing script error loading script lua syntax error FiveM
What causes it
A Lua file has a syntax error, so FiveM can't parse it. Almost always a missing end, a missing comma or quote, or an unclosed bracket — very often introduced when editing a config file.
How to fix it
Open the named file and find the syntax mistake — the error usually gives a line number.
- Read the file and line number in the error.
- Look for a missing
end, comma, quote, or bracket around that line. - If you just edited a config, revert your change and re-edit carefully — a single stray character breaks the whole file.
- Use a Lua syntax checker or a code editor with Lua linting to spot it.
