Why does my code keep asking me for an expression?

Im trying to make a timer so that when 15 seconds pass, my character will ask for help from the player. It however, keeps asking for an expression, i dont know whats happening or why its happening

Heres my code for reference (im new)

init = function()

//timer of the custcene seconds = 15 time = 1

end

update = function()

//make the timer tick if seconds -= 15 then seconds -= time end

if seconds -= 0 then screen.drawText("Hello...?", -150, 75, <'#000000'>) end

end

draw = function() screen.clear

end

This isn't html! You don't need "<>" to define a rgb element. Just put it in a string! EX:

if seconds -= 0 then screen.drawText("Hello...?", -150, 75,20, '#AAA') end

You were also missing your size (for the text) so I've put that in too, its the 20!

You most likely won't see the text in your version (Its set to pitch black, So I've changed it)

thank you!
