PZ help with map modding plz i cant get rid of some of these errors

[H-H-P]

i keep getting this error

and to me, it seems to me that it means that there should be a '=' between the function and SpawnPoints() that makes no sense to me but I did it, and still the same error. I am following a tutorial from 3 years ago so there might be an issue there but idk any help appreciated

Try deleting your spawnpoints.lua file, remaking it in WorldEd and saving it again.

 

Here is an example of Bedford Falls spawnpoints.lua file:

 

function SpawnPoints()
return {
  constructionworker = {
    { worldX = 46, worldY = 34, posX = 40, posY = 152, posZ = 0 }
  },
  fireofficer = {
    { worldX = 46, worldY = 34, posX = 40, posY = 152, posZ = 0 }
  },
  parkranger = {
    { worldX = 46, worldY = 34, posX = 40, posY = 152, posZ = 0 }
  },
  policeofficer = {
    { worldX = 46, worldY = 34, posX = 40, posY = 152, posZ = 0 }
  },
  securityguard = {
    { worldX = 46, worldY = 34, posX = 40, posY = 152, posZ = 0 }
  },
  unemployed = {
    { worldX = 46, worldY = 34, posX = 40, posY = 152, posZ = 0 }
  }
}
end
