A weapon I'm trying to code doesn't work and I don't know why

[IkeTheGeneric]

Attached: a wand that is supposed to work like the throwing knife, where left-clicking does a melee attack and right-clicking is supposed to shoot a magic projectile akin to the medieval weapon pack's wand weapon.

I do not understand what is causing it to break, because not only is the weapon broken, but it breaks the whole weapon pack, too.

As in the entire weapon pack just doesn't load?
A console.log would be a bit helpful.

This is the only thing relating to my weapon pack

Nothing else seems to be causing it to not work other than this, and I don't understand what the problem is

You seem to not be closing sonething properly. Post the code.

I posted the code

Using a phone I can't help you then. Just posting what is around the error report helps.

It's the only error related to the weapon

I'll post it again cause I accidentally left out the last line

You are missing }; at the end.

Jeez, there's a lot of things I messed up pertaining to where datablocks end. I'll fix all that right now and see if it works

edit: it works peeeerfectly. I'm going to package the wand for people to use right now!
