Lua Error (Been stuck on it for days)

[Mrcreeper72]

Ok, so here's the deal, I am trying to make a HUD for Garry's mod but I get the following Error:

[ERROR] gamemodes/sci-fi rp/gamemode/cl_hud.lua:9: ')' expected near '0'
1. unknown - gamemodes/sci-fi rp/gamemode/cl_hud.lua:0

the code for hiding the old HUD is:

local NoShow = { 'CHudHealth', 'CHudBattery' }

hook.Add( 'HUDShouldDraw', 'DeleteBadStuff', function( element )
for _, v in pairs( NoShow ) do
if ( element == v ) then
return false
end
end
end )

and the code for my new HUD is:

function CMyHUD()
local ply = LocalPlayer()
local HP = ply:Health()
local Armor = ply:Armor()

draw.RoundedBox( 4, 130, ScrH() - 100, 200, 40, Color( 40, 40, 40, 120 ) )
draw.RoundedBox( 4, 130, ScrH() - 100, math.Clamp( HP 0, 200)*2, 40, Color( 220, 20, 60, 255) )
draw.RoundedBox( 4, 130, ScrH() - 100, math.Clamp( HP 0, 200)*2, 15, Color( 255, 255, 255, 40) )
end
hook.Add( "HUDShouldDraw", "CoolHUD", MyHUD )

I've been looking through this code all Weekend just pondering on the subject and i just cant get it to work, so I have come to the aid of other Lua coders and This is why I ask you, Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!?????

Goto line 9, remove 5 lines above and below and manually retype everything. There's a symbol that corrupted the file but I don't know exactly what causes it.

Thanks for this, will be using this for now but since I'm learning lua I would rather understand the code much more, but thx anyway

math.Clamp( HP 0, 200)

You are missing a comma after HP in both calls to math.Clamp
