</abbr>

i used Dropbox to add it to bluestacks 2 line 41 is where the first function Starts but I can't find the mistake

Well, it is as the dialog says: <name> expected
When defining a function, it should be like this:

function <name> (<parameter1>, <param2>, <etc>)
 -- perform something
end

For example:

function useskill()
   while (true) do
       if  (skill) then
           click(skilllocation1)
           wait(skilltime)
       end
   end
end

Don't forget to call the function somewhere, otherwise the code inside the function will never run! Calling a function can be done like

useskill()

But honestly, what are you expecting from using function? If we know what you're trying to accomplish, our answers will probably be more helpful in reaching your goal!

You can use Timer.

There is sample code in document.
