weapon reload - What am I doing wrong?

[frankpetrov]

SO I'm trying to make it then when a player reloads any weapon, they shout "Reloading!" in the chat box. All the weapons use the base, base_weapons, so in sh_base_weapons.lua, I put

 
function ITEM:Reload()

	if (client:GetPos():Distance( LocalPlayer():GetPos() ) <= 256) then
			chat.AddText(Color(255, 250, 150), client:Name().." yells: Reloading ");

			return true;
	end;

end

but it doesn't work. gives the error:
[ERROR] gamemodes/pistachio/gamemode/main/items/base/sh_base_weapon.lua:20: unexpected symbol near ','
1. unknown - gamemodes/pistachio/gamemode/main/items/base/sh_base_weapon.lua:0

Any idea what I'm doing wrong here?

I'm pretty sure you don't need those semicolons in the code.

Are semicolons even required for anything? ,_,

They're carryovers from C++, if I'm not mistaken lua just ignores them

yeah, i did C++ before learning lua and i kinda put them in there by habit. lua looks at them as whitespace though. doesn't affect anything. So no one has any idea then what's causing this?
